I'm going to have to find some time to watch that because I found the book incomprehensible.

Very nice lecture; I enjoyed it.

Krauss book i read - A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing (giving it a good read over)

As far as videos and lectures go its fairly easy to find them on youtube anything that is a hour and hour plus i tend to watch.

I thought his book of the same title kind of sucked. A lot of interesting scientific facts and a fine case against the invocation of religious deities to supply metaphysical solutions to difficult problems... But the writing felt like it was all over the place and not really giving the case for an qualitas occulta an honest and fair treatment.

With his lecture he really cut straight to the point in getting that all out the way.

I remember the lecture as a really good intro to physical cosmology. Just ignore the philosophical aspects of the "from nothing" bit, which are questionable and not science.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

This felt like a rehash of the same lecture he's given previously, here:



But now he says that virtual particles need gravity to push them into reality... where does gravity come from when there are no real particles?
