My guest today is Lawrence Krauss, a theoretical physicist and cosmologist, professor at Arizona State University, director of its Origins Project and author of bestselling books: “The Physics of Star Trek” and “A Universe from Nothing.” He is an advocate for science based data, public policy based on sound empirical data, and scientific skepticism. His goal is to reduce the influence of superstition and religious dogma in popular culture. Richard Feynman has played a large role in Lawrence and his studies. He is a great example of someone who did not let other’s hinder him. Feynman was charismatic, intelligent, and excited about all things new – he didn’t rely on other’s opinions. The charisma Feynman possessed, combined with the genius of his science made him the legend.

The topic is his book The Greatest Story Ever Told–So Far: Why Are We Here?.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Big bang theory

Hey Mike,

When you made the first offer of a free copy of your Trend Following audio book I was there and get a certificate for a free download. Number of times I read your last Trend Following book = 0 (read the first couple of chapters). Number of times I have listened to Trend Following = 5 and counting. It is my traveling companion. I had my dad’s luxury Buick for the last two weeks and connecting my phone via bluetooth to listen was hit or miss; more miss. Finally today I returned his car and got my old Toyota back and it connected to the phone and the audio book cued up to play, I just had to press play. All is good again.

Have a great weekend,
[Name]

Thanks!
