Kramers piiblislied, and was, I suspect, anxious to start a new writing project. The year was 1987 four years after Wolfram s groundbreaking review article on celhilar automata that appeared in Reviews of Modern Physics [wolfSSa], and three years after the founding of the Santa Fe Institute, now arguably one of the world s leading centers for complex systems research. 

While the history of CA can be traced back to early Systems Theory and rigorous mathematical analyses conducted primarily by Russian researchers in the 1930s and 40s, their more recent incarnation as simple models of complexity in nature can arguably be traced to a single landmark review paper published by Wolfram in the Reviews of Modern Physics in 1983 [wolf83a].

An extensive elaboration of HFB was published in the October issue of Reviews of Modern Physics. This was the now famous B FH. A1 Cameron had already published his article in the June issue of the Publication of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, but they were unaware of his work when they had submitted their manuscript to Reviews of Modern Physics at about that date. Cameron s article referred to HFB but Fowler points out that it was nevertheless a remarkable feat for one person to arrive at the same conclusions as four who had worked very hard and in concert. B FH attracted much attention and convinced people that nucleosynthesis in stars had been understood quantitatively. 

In a classic article published in the journal Review of Modern Physics in 1957, Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler and Hoyle described the various processes responsible for synthesising chemical elements during the evolution of stars. These processes include thermonuclear fusion and neutron capture. 

The third ACS-approved approach to citing the literature is to use authors last names and year of publication (author name, year). This format is relatively uncommon in ACS journals but is frequently used in journals of other scientihc disciplines, such as Ecology and Reviews of Modern Physics. With the author—date citation technique, the authors last names, followed by a comma, a space, and the year of publication are placed in parentheses (or brackets in some journals). Publications with three or more authors are referred to by the last name of the first author, followed by et ah, a comma, and the year. Multiple citations are separated by semicolons and listed in alphabetical order (by first author). 

If you are not comfortable knowing that you are immortal in pi, maybe you can be comfortable with the idea of Quantum Immortality. To understand this concept, first we must understand the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. Hugh Everett Ill s doctoral thesis, Relative State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics (reprinted in Reviews of Modern Physics), outlines a controversial theory in which the universe at every instant branches into countless parallel worlds. However, human consciousness works in such a way that it is only aware of one universe at a time.

The material in this book has been published in two articles in Angewandte Chemie and Reviews of Modern Physics, and I express my gratitude to the editors of these journals for their encouragement and assistance. The construction of the book based on those articles was suggested by my friend M. V. Basilevsky.
