Quatrième de couverture :
In the beginning there was light
but more than this, there was gravity.
After that, all hell broke loose...
This is how the story of the greatest intellectual adventure in history should be introduced - how humanity reached its current understanding of the universe, one that is far removed from the realm of everyday experience. Krauss connects the world we know with the invisible world all around us, which is removed from intuition and direct sensation. He explains our current understanding of nature and the struggle to construct the greatest theoretical edifice ever assembled, the Standard Model of Particle Physics -- and then to understand its implications for our existence.
Writing in the critically acclaimed style of A Universe from Nothing, Krauss celebrates the beauty and wonders of the natural world and details our place within it and how this shapes our understanding of it. Krauss makes this story accessible through profiles of the scientists responsible for these advances, and clear explanations of their discoveries. Krauss takes us on a tour of science and the brilliant personalities who shaped it, often against political and religious indoctrination, enduring persecution and ostracism. Krauss creates a captivating blend of research and narrative to invite us into the lives and minds of these figures,creating a landmark work of scientific history.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Probably the most readable, exciting and authoritative writer on science we have. A new Lawrence Krauss book always goes to the top of the curious minds wish list. Stephen Fry I loved the fight scenes and the sex scenes were excellent. (Eric Idle) 'In the span of a century, physics progressed from skepticism that atoms were real to equations so precise we can predict properties of subatomic particles to the tenth decimal place. Lawrence Krauss rightly places this achievement among the greatest of all stories, and his bookat once engaging, poetic and scholarlytells the story with a scientists penetrating insight and a writers masterly craft.' (Brian Greene, author of The Elegant Universe, and Director, Center for Theoretical Physics, Columbia University) "Unlike some very clever scientists, Lawrence Krauss is not content to bask on the Mount Olympus of modern physics. A great educator as well as a great physicist, he wants to pull others up the rarefied heights to join him. But unlike some science educators, he doesnt dumb down. In Einsteins words, he makes it 'as simple as possible but no simpler.'" (Richard Dawkins, author of The Magic of Reality) In every debate Ive done with theologians and religious believers their knock-out final argument always comes in the form of two questions: Why is there something rather than nothing? and Why are we here? The presumption is that if science provides no answers then there must be a God. But God or no, we still want answers. In A Universe From Nothing Lawrence Krauss, one of the biggest thinkers of our time, addressed the first question with verve, and in The Greatest Story Ever Told he tackles the second with elegance. Both volumes should be placed in hotel rooms across America, in the drawer next to the Gideon Bible." (Michael Shermer, Publisher Skeptic magazine, columnist Scientific American, Presidential Fellow Chapman University, author The Moral Arc.) "A Homeric tale of science, history, and philosophy revealing how we learned so much about the universe and its tiniest parts." (Sheldon Glashow, Nobel Laureate, 1979 in physics) The Greatest Story Ever ToldSo Far ranges from Galileo to the LHC and beyond. It's accessible, illuminating, and surprisingan ideal guide for anyone interested in understanding our accidental universe. (Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction) College students, hippies, squares, Christians, Muslims, democrats, republicans, libertarians, theists, even atheistsall of ussit around BS-ing like: So, how did all this, I mean everything, all of us, the whole universe, you know, man, everything, how did this all get here? While we were doing that, Lawrence Krauss and people like him were doing the work to figure it out. Then Krauss wrote this great book about it. Wow, man, you mean, like were getting closer to really knowing? I guess well have to go back to talking about politics and sex. (Penn Jillette, author of Presto!) Discovering the bedrock nature of physical reality ranks as one of humanitys greatest collective achievements. This book gives a fine account of the main ideas and how they emerged. Krauss is himself close to the field, and can offer insights into the personalities who have led the key advances. A practiced and skilled writer, he succeeds in making the physics as simple as possible but no simpler. I dont know a better book on this subject. (Martin Rees, author of Just Six Numbers) It is an exhilarating experience to be led through this fascinating story, from Galileo to the Standard Model and the Higgs Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
