The book by Krauss is the triumph of physics against the metaphysical. It is the glory of knowledge and logic. It is the dismantling of obscurantism and myth. It is a profound and yet simple work. With a vivid style, it explains, surprises us, and leaves us with a clear sense of invisible existential satisfaction.
It is a pioneering "injection" of revival in an ancient philosophical and theological reflection. "A Universe from Nothing" provokes by introducing new elements into the debate about the existence of God and every element of creation.
"Forget Jesus...", declares Krauss, "the stars died so that you could be born."
...Even the last ace up the sleeve of theologians - the question "why nothing rather than something?" - shrinks before our eyes as we read these pages. If "On the Origin of Species" was the most deadly blow that biology dealt to the supernatural, we can consider "A Universe from Nothing" as its equivalent in cosmology. The title means exactly what it says. And what it says is stunning.
(Richard Dawkins)
A legendary account of modern cosmology. As it is clearly demonstrated, everything in the Universe has to do with nothing - and nothing has to do with God.
God is not necessary - or, at best, unnecessary. To be, right from the start, absolutely honest, I must admit that I do not agree with the belief that creation requires a Creator...
Even the admission of a Prime Mover (according to Aristotle) leaves the question unanswered: Who created the Creator?
The most recent discoveries by cosmologists regarding the Void, Dark Matter, and the origin of the Universe trigger significant theological and philosophical questions.
Krauss - a specialized theoretical physicist - provides an unwavering scientific answer to the weighty existential question "why is there something rather than nothing?"
(Frank Wilczek)
How did the Universe arise? What existed before it? What is its future? Why should there be "something rather than nothing"? Krauss directly answers these eternal questions. The latter is the center of theological and philosophical debates regarding the existence of God and the dispute about the necessity of a Creator. With a progression of arguments and evidence reminiscent of a cosmological thriller, pioneering theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss analyzes the most recent findings of astrophysics, attributing astonishing creative dimensions to the existence of Dark Matter and the Void: "Not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing."
The "Void" is something very complex. It resembles a soup of swirling particles. They are created and disappear in time intervals so short that we cannot directly observe them. As I have defined it so far, the "nothing" from which the observable "something" arises is the "empty space," the "dark matter." However, from the moment we take into account the composition of quantum mechanics and general relativity, we can extend the argument to support the necessary creation of space itself.
