Writing with grace and wit, Lawrence Krauss explicates cutting-edge science as he takes us on a thrilling, millennia-spanning journey that tells the truth of matterwhat it is, where it came from, and where its going. A book that readers of The Elegant Universe will read with fascination and pleasure. As he did in The Physics of Star Trek, Krauss once again makes reading about physics fun for scientists and nonscientists alike.
