137 in Physics
The Novel contains 137 chapters, symbolizing the importance of the number 137 (fine structure constant) in physics – a crossroad number of Isaac Newton’s classical physics, Albert Einstein’s relativistic physics, and Niels Bohr’s quantum physics.
137--11 Dimensions of the Universe
When integers in 137 are added, the number 11 is obtained. This is the number of dimensions of our Universe as studied in the so-called M-Theory, a general string theory.
Time--Unidirectional Dimension
On the other hand we experience only three spatial dimensions (each being two-directional in nature, meaning possibility of forward and backward movement) and time as unidirectional dimension (we experience time as 'flowing' forward). It can be said that we experience only three and a half dimensions. Doctor Faustef, in this fiction story, acquires the capability to move freely in multidimensional time.
137 in Kabbalah
In addition, the number 137 is a numeric value of KBLH, transliterated as Kabbalah – the Jewish mysticism dating back to Man – God named Hermes Trismegistus (Thrice the Great) - The Snake Man.
Ephemerons--Particles of Time
The knowledge on human immortality – homo immortalis – Doctor Faustef reaches based on his theory on the particles of time – ephemerons.
Lucifer Defeated
Lucifer – the guardian of mortality on the planet Earth is strongly against Faustef’s work. Lucifer offers a deal – Faustef refuses.
Unlike his predecessors, who were yielding to the Devil in one way or the other, Doctor Faustef pursues a head-on fight with the Devil – Lucifer himself - and wins.
Scientist--Devil Bargain
The perennial story about the knowledge thirsty scientist (Simon Magus,Faust, Faustus) and the Devil—the knowledge thirst quencher—comes to the 21st century via Doctor Faustef by V. Alexander Stefan.
