“As you wander past the Hotel de Matignon, the official residence of the French prime minister, past the art and antiques shops that crowd together amid the bustle and color of the 7th arrondissemont in Paris, you arrive at the courtyard of a grand eighteenth-century estate, whose walls protect a garden enclave from the traffic, noise, and concerns of the outside world.”
Lawrence Maxwell Krauss is an American theoretical physicist and cosmologist who is Foundation Professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, and director of its Origins Project. He is known as an advocate of the public understanding of science, of public policy based on sound empirical data, of scientific skepticism and of science education, and works to reduce the influence of what he opines as superstition and religious dogma in popular culture. Krauss is the author of several bestselling books, including The Physics of Star Trek (1995) and A Universe from Nothing (2012), and chairs the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Board of Sponsors.
