Quantum computing represents a transformative technology with unparalleled potential to revolutionize industries, solve complex global challenges, and advance scientific discovery. Its ability to process vast amounts of data and optimize intricate systems can drive breakthroughs in areas such as healthcare, climate modeling, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence.

Since physicists discovered the four fundamental forces of nature--weak, strong, electromagnetic, and gravity--they have tried to unify them into one theory. Physicists went down to the subatomic level to search and ended up with vibrating strings. They went up into space and ended up with gravitons (which are yet to be found). But what do these forces mean in terms of human behavior? In The Four Forces of Human Nature: A Unifying Theory, Dr. Trevino Pena identifies the human forces and the specific areas of the brain responsible for processing them.
