Internationally renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss offers provocative, revelatory answers to the biggest philosophical questions: Where did our universe come from? Why does anything exist? And how is it all going to end? 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' is the question atheists and scientists are always asked,and until now there has not been a satisfying scientific answer. Today, exciting scientific advances provide new insight into this cosmological mystery: not only cansomething arise from nothing, but something willalwaysarise from nothing. A mind-bending trip back to the beginning of the beginning, A Universe from Nothingauthoritatively presents the most recent evidence that explains how our universe evolved - and the implications for how it's going to end. It will provoke, challenge, and delight readers to look at the most basic underpinnings of existence in a whole new way. In the words of Richard Dawkins: this could potentially be the most important scientific book since Darwin's On the Origin of Species.

Lawrence M. Krauss does not suffer from the ambiguity of the rest of the ?something from nothing? philosophical crowd. You see, Mr. Krauss is firmly on the side of science, (which has its own innate disagreeableness). But Mr. Krauss makes it very clear, it may not have all the answers, but science is billions of years ahead of creationism, (13.72 billion years to be exact, since the Big Bang).
Mr. Krauss knows how to strut his cosmological stuff. He puts the physical in physics. Empirical charts combine with a whirlwind of facts and figures until the reader, (in this case myself), had to hold on for dear life. (Man, I wish I kept up with developments since high school and college science, but how many of us do?) But, in case you have forgotten your hard-earned course material Mr. Kraus will supply you with a cold dash of reality, and the truth is that much has changed since our time in school, (at least for my generation).
And as we all know reality is relative, (yes, Einstein is here too, but he is seen as a Big Bang skeptic). If you read this book you will get a good dose of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, and black holes, and dark matter. But don?t worry. They have been there all along, lurking in the shadows of space, (and around you as you sleep).
Mr. Kraus makes his proof for the Big Bang, and he says there is reason to believe that our universe will expand itself out of business. There will come a time, (not in our lives), when the cosmos will not be visible from Earth anymore. The real question is will there be any human life left here to observe the ?nothingness?? I guess we could then say we will have gone from ?something to nothing?.
The concept of a multiverse, (a collection of universes), really got me to thinking. Previous to reading this book I had been exposed to the notion, (and the impossibility), of either a creator, or a natural process, as having started the ball rolling from within. The idea that we could have been given our start from another platform is much more plausible. But then it opens up even more mind-boggling possibilities. Could there be a galaxy of universes? Could these universe galaxies add up to a stupendous larger entity, (and so forth and so on)? Wow, I feel small.
