The book series is divided into five books. This second book has three chapters. We continue to introduce, with significant details, the core fundamental notions that underpin modern science and engineering education and scientific training. These notions are (1) chemical, nuclear, and thermonuclear reactions, (2) oxygenic and anoxygenic photosyntheses, (3) neutron scattering,  (4) gamma-ray interactions with matter, (5) electricity and magnetism, (6) photoelectric effect, (7) Compton scattering, (8) pair and triple productions, (9) neutron stars, (10) and supernovae, and (11) black holes. We then illustrate, with applications across disciplines, the importance of these notions in the understanding of the origin of our lives, including the Kigali Amendment and Montreal Protocol related to the ozone layer and halocarbon productions, and why Mars and Venus turned out very different from Earth despite the multiple similarities. These applications also include medical diagnostics and treatments, aging, conventional and unconventional energy resources, renewable energy, nuclear fusion and fission, atomic and hydrogen bombs, rock dating, and potential carbon-based life in the TRAPPIST-1 star system.
