In the last few years we assisted to a substantial improvement on the number of cataclysmic variables (CVs) discovered, but only few exciting results have been obtained such as the discovery of a white dwarf pulsar in AR Sco. In this paper I will comment, from a personal point of view, some news about the route to be followed in the investigations on CVs and Related Objects.
The paper will be developed as follows:
- Introduction
- The use of wisdom in Physics
- Some comments on Cataclysmic Variables
- Classical and Recurrent Novae
- Progenitors of Type--Ia Supernovae
- Nuclear Reactions in Stars
- Some Open Questions
- Conclusions
