This book presents a complete explanation of consciousness and a probable history from inert matter to the formation of single-celled life, then to multicellular and intelligent life and finally describes human consciousness. In this book consciousness is defined and the living effect that corresponds to it is described. It explains consciousness and all its states and characteristics in a very complete way. This book is part of Bepe Popu's Theory of Everything which aims to explain everything from the formation of the universe to the emergence of life, intelligent life, humanity and describes a universal cyclical performance, but the most unusual thing is that the theory en Based on classical physics. According to this theory, reality is constantly changing, since new effects are constantly taking shape, generating a single future reality that is the succession of the previous reality. Probable effects are those that are likely to occur. When these effects come to fruition, they become part of the current reality that will form the future reality. The author maintains that reality is the sum of all concrete effects from probable effects. This means that any specific effect that occurs can be reproduced in the future if the conditions are met, but they will be different effects because they occur in a present different from the previous one because their own probable condition occurs. The author also maintains that concrete effects will continue to be part of future realities, because any present effect will be a cause of future effects and future effects will be causes of the following effects. Thus a continuity is maintained that gives the cumulative character of physical reality.

El Instituto Lucas Mallada de Investigaciones Geológicas (ILM) fue fundado como centro propio del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) en 1943, con objeto de integrar en una misma estructura a los geologos que trabajaban en las universidades españolas; no obstante, hasta 1948 no se incorporo el primer investigador a su plantilla. Para el analisis del desarrollo cientifico y organizativo del ILM, a lo largo de sus treinta y seis años de historia, hemos utilizado la documentacion conservada en el Archivo del Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN, CSIC), el Departamento de Mineralogia y Petrologia de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, las memorias publicadas anualmente por la Secretaria General del CSIC y las experiencias personales del autor, que fue funcionario de plantilla y secretario del ILM desde el año 1977. La historia del ILM se ha vertebrado en torno a sus cuatro directores, dedicando un capitulo a cada uno de ellos, en los que se sintetizan sus proyectos, realizaciones cientificas y la evolucion de la estructura del Instituto, con la creacion y disolucion de las secciones del mismo. Por su interes cientifico y politico, se dedica un capitulo al Instituto Nacional de Geologia, directamente vinculado al ILM y fundado por el CSIC en 1966. La historia se completa con dos capitulos mas, uno en el que se ponen de manifiesto los distintos tipos de personal, tanto cientifico como de apoyo a la investigacion, asi como su numero y evolucion a lo largo de los años de existencia del ILM; y otro, el ultimo, en el que se analiza la labor editorial del Instituto, muy importante en su primera epoca, bajo la direccion de Maximino San Miguel de la Camara. Durante la misma se fundaron tres revistas, entre ellas Estudios geologicos, y la serie Monografias, en las que se publicaron numerosos e importantes trabajos sobre la geologia de España, realizados tanto por sus miembros como por geologos extranjeros.
