What sets this book apart is the fact that we have presented the subject of perpetual motion machines (PMMs) from the ground up on an axiomatic basis. This work is about the basics that one needs to master in order to own such a machine and thus be able to elevate himself to higher realms of existence.

Everyone in today's society is struggling with this mysterious thing called the business world, striving toward a higher understanding of its inner workings. Despite this, most books present the basic concepts with so much complexity and so many arbitrary factors that the general public has given up on the subject and decided to retire to the sideline to be a spectator.

What sets this book apart is the fact that it is not just another science book describing scientific facts and phenomena! It would surely be redundant, since that task has been done many times over with much more elegant prose and brighter narrators. In this book, for the first time, we have undertaken the task of breaking the code of any piece of matter or natural phenomena, whether it is an atom, a quantum occurrence, a planet, a galaxy, or any other perceivable thing. It covers any natural phenomena ever discovered or one that will be unraveled by the future pioneers.
