A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing is a non-fiction book by the physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, initially published on January 10, 2012, by Free Press. It discusses modern cosmogony and its implications for the debate about the existence of God .
The central claim of the book is that the theory of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity together help us understand how universes could have formed out of nothing. [9] The authors write: Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.
Quantum Mechanics (French: Mécanique quantique), often called the Cohen-Tannoudji, is a series of standard ungraduate-level quantum mechanics textbook written originally in French by Nobel laureate in Physics Claude Cohen-Tannoudji, Bernard Diu and Franck Laloë; in 1973.
3D visualization of quantum fluctuations of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) vacuum [1]. In quantum physics, a quantum fluctuation (also known as a vacuum state fluctuation or vacuum fluctuation) is the temporary random change in the amount of energy in a point in space, [2] as prescribed by Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science. Quantum mechanics can describe many systems that classical physics cannot.
Quantum mechanics is the study of matter and its interactions with energy on the scale of atomic and subatomic particles.By contrast, classical physics explains matter and energy only on a scale familiar to human experience, including the behavior of astronomical bodies such as the moon.
Albert has published four books—Quantum Mechanics and Experience (1992), [2] Time and Chance (2000), [3] After Physics (2015), [4] and A Guess at the Riddle (2023) [5] —as well as numerous articles on quantum mechanics. His books have been both praised and criticized for their informal, conversational style.
