New journeys begin with uncertainty and hope. This is true for me and for you, and it was also true for Dr. Dante Paolo's former students. Challenges awaited Amy as she entered medical school in Minnesota having left her boyfriend Brad behind to study medicine at Harvard. Concerns filled Phil's mathematical mind as he started graduate studies at RPI in New York, and occupied Ajay's computer-loving mind as he walked into MIT in Cambridge. And a dose of mild trepidation descended on Abby Lark as she settled into a doctoral program in Advanced Communication at American University to explore the mysterious world of telepathy. Yet they persevered. What Abby, Ajay, Amy, Brad, and Phil learned - in their new environments, from each other, and from new friends - turned uncertainty and hope into clarity and intrigue. Unwittingly their research interests intersected. They tackled questions that perplexed millions for millennia: What is our ultimate destiny? How do we get there? And how do we know? These answers have been elusive. Until now.Abby's Theory is the logical sequel to The Last Hypothesis.

After a successful career Professor Dante Paolo left the high demands of academic research for the rewards of an early retirement. But fate had other ideas. The prestigious Wilmington College needed to bolster their science curriculum and soon the gifted Dr. Paolo was recruited - to the disapproval of the Dean of Academic Affairs - to develop and teach a senior level course. Teach the Professor utilized the Socratic method of learning and by the end of the semester the wisdom gained by the four enlightened students enrolled in the course shaped their future but what Dante learned from them could alter the course of humankind. His profound yet wild insights may well reconcile aspects of human existence once thought to be irreconcilable. Suddenly and with little warning time was short. Dante and the students raced to complete critical experiments to refute or support The Last Hypothesis.
