For as long as history has been recorded, there has been interest in how the universe formed. The scientific community seems to agree that the big bang was what created the universe, but there are many conflicting arguments about what existed before the big bang and what started it. While there are almost infinite answers to this question, there are only two paths one can take to answer it; either something existed before the big bang or the entire universe came from nothing. Lawrence M. Krauss, acclaimed physicist and cosmologist, uses his understanding of science in his book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing, to make clear that it is logical for something to come from nothing. Krauss acknowledges that much of the world attributes creation to God and quotes Steven Weinberg when he states that “science does not make it impossible to believe in God, but rather makes it possible to believe in God” (183). Using the big bang theory, the discovery of both matter and dark energy, and the idea that many features of the universe come from nothing, Krauss convincingly argues that the universe actually came into existence without preexistence. To support his thesis that the universe was born from nothing, Krauss points to the big bang theory. The original theory was that everything was static, but Edwin Hubble proved this to be invalid, stating that the universe was actually expanding. Using advances in telescopic technology and previous knowledge of starlight, he correctly made this statement. Using the same test, Hubble determined that our galaxy, the Milky Way, was not the only one in the universe. Krauss uses this theory to demonstrate that an expanding universe means... half of a sheet of paper... The number of theories about how the universe materialized is almost infinite, but Krauss' thesis is one of the most convincing . and reinforced that was proposed. Lawrence Krauss is one of the most respected theoretical physicists and cosmologists in America and has done extensive research into how and why the universe exists. Like the title of his book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing, his entire theory revolves around the fact that the universe was created from nothing. To support his thesis, he explores the weight and shape of the universe, matter and dark energy, quantum mechanics, visual particles and expansion rates. While the world may never know exactly how the universe was created, society is getting closer to understanding it and Krauss may have been the one who discovered it..
