Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate and Herman Feshbach professor at MIT, author of The Lightness of Being The climax is a bold scientific answer to the great question of existence: Why is there something rather than nothing.” With his characteristic verve, and using many clever devices, he’s made that remarkable story remarkably accessible. “A series of brilliant insights and astonishing discoveries have rocked the Universe in recent years, and Lawrence Krauss has been in the thick of it. "In this clear and crisply written book, Lawrence Krauss outlines the compelling evidence that our complex cosmos has evolved from a hot, dense state and how this progress has emboldened theorists to develop fascinating speculations about how things really began." Mario Livio, author of Is God A Mathematician? and The Golden Ratio As Lawrence Krauss lucidly explains, astronomers living two trillion years from now, will perhaps be pondering precisely the same question! Beautifully navigating through deep intellectual waters, Krauss presents the most recent ideas on the nature of our cosmos, and of our place within it. "Astronomers at the beginning of the twentieth century were wondering whether there was anything beyond our Milky Way Galaxy.
This is a brilliant and disarming book."- Sam Harris, author of The Moral Landscape As it turns out, everything has a lot to do with nothing-and nothing to do with God.
"In A Universe from Nothing, Lawrence Krauss has written a thrilling introduction to the current state of cosmology-the branch of science that tells us about the deep past and deeper future of everything.
Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved-and the implications for how it’s going to end. One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. “Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?” Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place.
