Book by Lawrence M. Krauss
The Greatest Story Ever Told—So Far: Why Are We Here? is the tenth full-length non-fiction book by the American theoretical physicist Lawrence M. Krauss. The book was initially published on March 21, 2017, by Atria Books.[1][2]
Synopsis
The book deals with the current scientific understanding of the creation of the Universe and gives a history of how scientists have formulated the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Krauss also details how symmetries have blazed the path for the major breakthroughs of modern particle physics.[3]
Reception
A reviewer of Publishers Weekly stated: "In confident and verbose prose, Krauss tells a story that both celebrates and explores science. Through it, he reminds readers why scientists build such complicated machinery and push the boundaries of the quantum world when nothing makes sense: “For no more practical reason than to celebrate and explore the beauty of nature."[4] David Warmflash of Wired UK commented "Author Lawrence Krauss' upcoming book is all about the history of physics and modern research, encompassing both cosmology and subatomic physics; what Krauss describes as particle astrophysics. It’s a science book. And yet, most of the chapters open with a biblical quote."[5]
