A Universe from Nothing by Lawrence M. Krauss Book Summary

Bestselling author and acclaimed physicist Lawrence Krauss offers a paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place.

“Where did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?”

One of the few prominent scientists today to have crossed the chasm between science and popular culture, Krauss describes the staggeringly beautiful experimental observations and mind-bending new theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle, A Universe from Nothing uses Krauss’s characteristic wry humor and wonderfully clear explanations to take us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved—and the implications for how it’s going to end.

Provocative, challenging, and delightfully readable, this is a game-changing look at the most basic underpinning of existence and a powerful antidote to outmoded philosophical, religious, and scientific thinking.

Dawkins.... is slightly arrogant, so it's not too surprising....

A conclusion from nothing!. The author offers many exciting and interesting theories about the Universe which are fun to read and ponder. However, he uses his interesting theories in a sophomoric attempt to disprove that God exists. The parts of his book about God are like reading a movie review by a critic who has never seen the movie he is reviewing. The author should stick to what he knows about instead of wandering off into areas he actually knows very little about. His conclusions are meaningless because he obviously has a very limited knowledge base about the subject he is criticizing.

Everything indeed out of nothing. Great read for anyone with an open mind; closed minds already believe that everything came out from nothing, only they call nothing God. The book's formatting is uneven and awful at some places, and there are some typos, but the content outweighs the presentation.

Proof in the pudding. Krauss lays out clearly what we actually know. Flights of fancy, personal opinions and discussion on religion all report for duty, but that isn't the meat here. The lesson is that in our human dive to know it all, what is out there - is out there, with or without us and unrelated to our stubborn belief in mathematical beauty or easy answers. The universe doesn't care if we understand or not. While some of the science is hard to swallow, it's the truth, it's happening and if we don't like what we find? As Feynman said, "Go to another universe where the rules are simpler."

Convenient lie. “Something from nothing” violates the most established law in physics that is that mass/energy can NOT be created or destroyed. In thousands of experiments we have never observed energy/mass appearing or disappearing from/to nothing. The author, just like Stephen Hawking, have to INVENT a baseless, false theory to explain the inexplicable, that is the mass/energy came into existence from nothing. Other than that it is a convenient theory, it has no other merit. It is amazing that scientists come up with such terrible theories and they don’t lose their credentials. As a scientist myself, I can say that this book is utter nonsense.

Somethin for Nothin. Mr. Krauss' book for the most part explained to a layman like me a lot of the intricacies relating to empty space, inflation, relativity and much more. And it was done in an enjoyable format. Two books that compliment his arguments would be Irreligion by John Allen Paulos, a very short but to the point logical presentation against some of the arguments Krauss mentions about reasons to believe, or not believe, in a supreme clockmaker. The second book, The Infinity Puzzle by Frank Close, gives an outstanding presentation of how science got from Bohr to The Higgs particle, presenting all the key players and their contributions.

A Universe fro Nothig. Mine boggling! I could hardly put it down. There are interesting facts on every page. I am going to read it again to better digest it.

Something from nothing. The question of why there’s anything at all is anxiety inducing to say the least. In this book, the author makes a compelling argument that something is a natural progression from nothing. While the matter may not be settled, this gives a clear line of reasoning for why there is something naturally.

Garbage. A fools book

Another great one!. I find it hilarious how one reviewer states how Krauss should stick to what he knows and not talk about subjects he knows nothing about (god). As if there is one person on this earth who knows more about that subject than any other, you wouldn't say the same for the tooth fairy, would ya? As far as the content, there aren't many scientists who have the ability to convey their wealth of knowledge to the lay person as Dr Krauss can. A fascinating read. Buy it, read it, and learn your true orgins.

Too advanced. The concept is understandable, but the explanation is difficult to understand for non-scientists.

Something that comes from nothing?. Just another attempt at discrediting the obvious DESIGNER. If what he says is true, he didn’t write this book. He’s a liar! It just wrote itself. Here’s your sign.

Simply fascinating. Accessible to the layperson, witty prose and a re-framing of the eternal questions make this book a pleasure to read

Interesting, funny. The book is very interesting and funny. The comment Krauss made about not asking American high school students a previous reviewer mentioned was funny if you knew that American high school students don't rank well internationally. It was a joke! Lighten up people. Some of the book was a little dense and hard to understand, but reading the book was well worth it because a lot of the information is really amazing. Please physicists, find out more because I am dying to know these unanswered questions of the universe.

Amazing. Some of this will definitely require a re-read, but this has truly become the backbone of atheism.

Must Read. Let the philosophers and theologians complain all they want. Krauss does not make the mistake of getting bogged down too much in the philosophical side of "nothing". Instead he concerns himself with the reality of nature and explores how a universes can emerge from empty space. In the process, he gives the reader lots of information on the state of the art of astrophysics. This book contains scientific information. No, it doesn't point to a Creator, but so what? I want to know the true nature of the universe. Thank you Mr. Krauss for making this information accessible to the general public.

A Great Book!. This book definitely kept me reading. The topic is facinating and the author lays out facts in a way that keeps you wanting to know what’s on the next page. And although it is a very technical topic, this book was written so that the common man (like me) can easily understand what he is saying.
