Summary:
Theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss leads us to the furthest reaches of space and time, to scales
so
small they are invisible to microscopes, to the birth and rebirth of light, and into the natural forces that govern our existence. His unique blend of rigorous research and engaging storytelling invites us into the lives and minds of the remarkable, creative scientists who have helped to unravel the unexpected fabric of reality. He challenges us to re-envision ourselves and our place within the universe, as it appears that "God" does play dice with the universe. In the incisive style of his scintillating essays for The New Yorker, Krauss celebrates the
greatest
intellectual adventure
ever
undertaken - to understand
why
we
are
here
in a universe where fact is stranger than fiction. Lawrence Krauss is the author of A Universe from Nothing.
