New York Times bestselling author and internationally known theoretical physicist Lawrence Krauss will offer a “paradigm-shifting view of how everything that exists came to be in the first place” with his upcoming lecture, ‘A Universe from Nothing: Why there is Something rather than Nothing.’

Presented by The President’s Forum for Critical Thought at Eastern Washington University, an evening with Lawrence Krauss will be at 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 17, at the Martin Woldson Theater at the Fox in downtown Spokane.

According to a press release, “Krauss describes the experimental observations and mind-bending theories that demonstrate not only can something arise from nothing, something will always arise from nothing. Krauss takes us back to the beginning of the beginning, presenting the most recent evidence for how our universe evolved – and the implications for how it’s going to end.”

He is foundation professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration and Physics Department, and inaugural director of the Origins Project at Arizona State University. He is the author of more than 300 scientific publications, as well as numerous popular articles on physics and astronomy. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his research and writing.

His presentation is free and open to the public.
