Review of a popular science book ‘A Universe from Nothing’ by Lawrence Krauss Review 2/5 stars Oh dear!

However, the book is ruined by the continuous reference to religion as being superfluous. The remarks are … Continue reading A Universe from Nothing by Lawrence Krauss

I came … Continue reading Cosmos by Carl Sagan
