Lawrence Krauss

Lawrence Krauss (1954 - ) 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. Krauss has formulated a model in which the universe could have potentially come from "nothing," as outlined in his 2012 book A Universe from Nothing [Krauss, Lawrence M. (2012). A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing. New York: Free Press. p. 183. ISBN 978-1-4516-2445-8.]. However, Krauss's "nothing" in no way resembles the absolute nothingness of QO. It is a quantum foam, which somehow just got there. It already has natural order, the origins of which he does not address. QO is the only hypothesis, formulated in a manner as to be open to scientific examination, which actually takes the title of Krauss's book seriously.
