Foreword

The story I wish to share with you emerged after extensive reading about the universe and its creation—to the point where I felt compelled to solve the puzzle laid out before me. By starting with the framework—the outer edges of the puzzle—it became increasingly clear that I was on the right track. With both a starting point and an end point established, I set out to fill in the gaps using the many scientific discoveries already known to us. The real challenge lay in filling in the numerous blanks—the missing pieces—myself. After several years, my puzzle is now complete, and I would like to share it with you.
My story presents the puzzle of the Universe: how it began with a single form of energy and, step by step, gave rise to all 280 elements—components that are, for the most part, essential for the development of a complete Universe.
You could call it the unification of all matter. Every element is discussed—including those yet to be discovered, those already hypothesized (such as dark energy), as well as the familiar quarks, protons, and the entire periodic table of Mendeleev.

The story begins with a discovery in Portugal. It was a menhir—a standing stone....
