Known as the "four horsemen" of the New Atheism, four thinkers of the twenty-first century met only once. Their examination of ideas was wide-ranging. Everything that was said as they agreed and disagreed with one another, interrogated ideas and exchanged insights about religion and atheism, science and sense speaks to our present age. The dialogue was recorded, and is transcribed and presented in this book

Internationally renowned theoretical physicist and bestselling author, Lawrence Krauss, presents a compelling narrative about the discovery of reality's hidden world and our place within it. He begins with the notion that while light was present at the universe's inception, gravity played a crucial role, leading to a chaotic unfolding of existence. Following his exploration of how the universe can emerge from nothing, Krauss delves into the true nature of reality, which defies our perceptions—it's bizarre, unpredictable, and concealed beneath our everyday experiences. In this unprecedented scientific history, Krauss takes us on a journey to the farthest reaches of space and time, exploring scales beyond our sight, the birth of light, and the fundamental forces that shape our lives. His engaging storytelling and rigorous research illuminate the lives of the innovative scientists who have contributed to our understanding of reality through reason rather than superstition. As an active participant in this scientific endeavor, Krauss shares insights from his interactions with these remarkable individuals. The narrative challenges us to reconsider our existence in a universe where chance plays a significant role. With the incisive style characteristic of his essays, Krauss celebrates the monumental quest to comprehend our place in a reality that is often stranger than fiction.
