Internationally renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author Lawrence Krauss offers provocative, revelatory answers to the biggest philosophical questions:

Where did our universe come from?

Why does anything exist?

How is it all going to end?

Why is there something rather than nothing?

These questions are asked of atheists and scientists, and until now there has not been a satisfying scientific answer. Today, exciting scientific advances provide new insight into this cosmological mystery: not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.

A mind-bending trip back to the beginning of the beginning, A Universe from Nothing authoritatively presents the most recent evidence that explains how our universe evolved - and the implications for how it's going to end. It will provoke, challenge, and delight readers to look at the most basic underpinnings of existence in a whole new way.

In the words of Richard Dawkins: this could potentially be the most important scientific book since Darwin's On the Origin of Species.
