Everything from Nothing: How the Universe Came to Be

Renowned physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss offers an innovative perspective on how everything that exists around us came into being at the dawn of time. Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What does the future hold? And finally, why does anything exist at all instead of nothing? Krauss is one of the few prominent scientists of our time who has managed to bridge the gap between science and popular culture. He describes astonishingly beautiful experimental observations and perplexing new theories that not only vividly demonstrate that something can arise from nothing, but also assert that something arises from nothing all the time. The book "Everything from Nothing: How the Universe Came to Be," featuring a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs boson, is marked by Krauss's characteristic dark humor and extraordinarily clear explanations that take us back to the very beginning and provide the latest evidence of how our universe has evolved, along with indications of how it is likely to end. This bold and timely book is a compelling read. It presents a revolutionary view of the most fundamental principles of existence and serves as a powerful antidote to outdated philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.
