Imagine the journey a single atom would take from the Big Bang through the creation of the universe, on to the beginnings of life on Earth and then beyond our demise…Physicist Lawrence M. Krauss, author of The Physics of Star Trek, has imagined just such a journey—and, as chairman of the Department of Physics at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University, he has the science to back his vision.
