Nothing Matters: How nothing creates everything - and why it matters to you (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798184758107)

Before there were stars, before there was time, before there was anything at all - there was nothing.

And from that nothing, everything came.

Nothing Matters is a journey through the most astonishing idea in modern science: that the universe emerged from absolute emptiness, and that its grand total - every star, every atom, every thought - still sums, exactly, to zero.

Moving from the quantum vacuum to the cosmic web, from conservation laws to the self that reads these words, this is a contemplative account of how nothing becomes everything - and what that means for the brief, improbable pattern that is you.
