I really wanted to give this a 5 star but the philosophy at the end got a bit convoluted and I couldn't follow it very well. Other than that, excellent. Great accessible science!

If you want to understand physics and science this a great book to read. It’s an easy read and he makes it easy to understand what the zero point is.

Krauss never disappoints. This is accessible without feeling like you’re being talked down to, which is his strong suit I think. Very enjoyable read. I even took my time so it would last longer. Highly recommend!

Meh. The science was good. I wish he'd stuck.to the science instead of wailing about religion like it had done something to him personally. Too bad. I used to like Krauss. Now he just seems whiny.

This is a very good book, even with how he used laymen's terms, it can be hard to comprehend. But good none the less.

The single best book I've read on the subjects of physics, cosmology, and philosophy.

A nice short essay about Kruass's and other's ideas about cosmology, inflation theory, and other physics related things. I am a pretty causal physics fan. I've never taken any classes or studied much about it other than some books by popular authors, so some if it goes over my head. But this was explained quite well and I walked away with a better understanding of "nothing" and some theories on why something can indeed come from nothing.

Krauss' writing hits you like a freight train - a non-stop journey through a century of science and 13.72 billion years of existence. Some of the concepts therein are no doubt a struggle to comprehend, but that is in some ways the point. Krauss draws on cosmology's greatest minds - including his own - to paint a complete picture in response to the question in its title.
