336 pages, 2018
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 discovery of the hidden world of reality—a grand poetic vision of nature—and how we find our place within it. In the beginning, there was light. But more than this, there was gravity. After that, all hell broke loose…
In A Universe from Nothing, Krauss revealed how our entire universe could arise from nothing. Now, he reveals what that something—reality—is. And, the reality is not what we think or sense—it’s weird, wild, and counterintuitive; it’s hidden beneath everyday experience; and its inner workings seem even stranger than the idea that something can come from nothing. In a landmark, unprecedented work of scientific history, 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 to the natural forces that govern our existence.
In 'The Greatest Story Ever Told – So Far', Lawrence M. Krauss takes us on a journey to explore the universe. He explains complex scientific theories in a way that's easy to understand. You'll find yourself looking at the stars with a new perspective.
Krauss emphasizes the importance of questioning everything. He believes that curiosity and skepticism are the driving forces behind scientific discovery. So, don't be afraid to ask questions, it's how we learn and grow.
The book takes a look at the evolution of scientific thought and how our understanding of the universe has changed over time. It's a reminder that science is a process, and our knowledge is always evolving. It's a fascinating journey through the history of science.
Physics plays a central role in the book. Krauss explains how physics has shaped our understanding of the universe. From the smallest particles to the vastness of space, physics helps us make sense of it all. If you've ever been curious about physics, this book is a great place to start.
One of the key takeaways from 'The Greatest Story Ever Told – So Far' is the beauty of science. Krauss shows us that science is not just about facts and figures, it's a way of seeing the world. It's about wonder, discovery, and the joy of understanding. So, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of science.
