DESCRIPTION:
Now, he reveals what that something - reality - is. But more than this, there was gravity. The Greatest Story 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 beginning there was light. Krauss has himself been an active participant in this effort, and he knows many of them well. 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 - with reason rather than superstition and dogma. After that, all hell broke looseIn A Universe from Nothing, Krauss revealed how our entire universe could arise from nothing. Internationally renowned, award-winning theoretical physicist, New York Times bestselling author of A Universe from Nothing, and passionate advocate for reason, Lawrence Krauss tells the dramatic story of the disc
A beautifully written, poetic book Paul Halpern In The Greatest Story Ever Told-So Far, Lawrence Krauss draws upon religious and philosophical imagery, dating back to biblical times, to present the fascinating story of how modern physics emerged. Krauss cleverly organizes the book's sections to resemble biblical teaching, replete with illustrative quotes from scripture, while emphasizing how humanity has made the most progress by examining the natural, rather than invoking the supernatural. Each chapter of the book builds upon the previous ones to show how physics has advanced from the theories of Newton, Faraday, and Maxwe. "Well told" according to Baby Peach. Excellent written history of physics and how we got to where we are today. Told like you were speaking to a friend who had personal interactions with many Nobel prize-winning scientists. First book I've read by Krauss after seeing his lecture at the Hayden. I will definitely read more of his books!. "Truly the greatest story ever toldso far" according to Crystal. Amazing story told by an amazing writer, scientist, and educator. Professor Krauss takes incredibly complicated science and conveys it in a way that anyone can understand. Anyone with a love of science or the history of science will enjoy this book.
