Review: A Universe from Nothing

March 25th, 2012 | by Harmonist staff

In this new book, Krauss argues that the laws of quantum mechanics have in them the makings of a thoroughly scientific and adamantly secular explanation of why there is something rather than nothing. Period. Case closed. End of story. I kid you not

November 17th, 2010 | by Harmonist staff

Byrne describes a methodology: First, imagine yourself having it. Second, feel yourself with it. Third, receive it. If you don’t receive it, that must be because you messed up steps one and two

November 11th, 2010 | by Harmonist staff

\"The brilliance of the phrase \'I told you so\' derives from its admirably compact way of making the point that not only was I right, I was also right about being right. In the instant of uttering it, I become right squared, maybe even right factorial...\"
