b'Join Dr. Carlos as he chats with Dr.\\xa0Lawrence M. Krauss. He\\xa0is director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. He is the author of more than 300 scientific publications and nine books, including the bestselling\\xa0The Physics of Star Trek, and the recipient of numerous international awards for his research and writing. Hailed byScientific American\\xa0as a \\u201crare scientific public intellectual,\\u201d he is also a regular columnist for newspapers and magazines and appears frequently on radio and television.

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

\\u201cWhere did the universe come from? What was there before it? What will the future bring? And finally, why is there something rather than nothing?\\u201d

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\\xa0always\\xa0arise from nothing. With a new preface about the significance of the discovery of the Higgs particle,\\xa0A Universe from Nothing\\xa0uses Krauss\\u2019s 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\\u2014and the implications for how it\\u2019s going to end.'
