The search for ever new hidden realities holds a big fascination which this book is trying to depict. The effort to fill the white spots on the map of science always has a touch of adventurousness. At at time in which there are few undiscovered spots left this effort has something to do with living the life of a pioneer. However, apart from being enthusiastic about making new discoveries, a pioneer also has to have perseverance, tenacity, and a sense of responsibility for the fields which he has opened up from himself. Neither the goals nor the methods of research must be permitted to contradict the existing body of law and morality. Whether scientists are sinking a hole up to 14 kilometers, targeting the sun with new high-powered telescopes on the Canary Islands, or making mysterious prehistoric finds in certain areas of northern India which are hard to reach: in all of these areas they are in search for The Hidden Reality.
