Lawrence M. Krauss Biography

Lawrence M. Krauss is one of the most popular and richest Astronomer who was born on May 27, 1954 in New York, United States. Krauss was born May 27th, 1954 within New York City, but was raised living in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Krauss was raised in a home which was Jewish but was not religious. Krauss graduated with bachelor degrees in physics and mathematics with top marks from Carleton University in Ottawa in 1977. He was also awarded an honorary Ph.D. in Physics from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1982.

Krauss is a regular in the media in the United States and internationally to help spread the word about science. He also wrote pieces of editorials in The New York Times. Because of his appearance before Ohio’s state board for education Ohio his disapproval of the intelligent design of schools has garnered national acclaim.

After some time in the Harvard Society of Fellows, Krauss became an assistant professor at Yale University in 1985 and associate professor in 1988. He left Yale for Case Western Reserve University in 1993 when he was named the Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, professor of astronomy, and chairman of the physics department until 2005. In 2006, Krauss led the initiative for the no- confidence vote against Case Western Reserve University’s president Edward M. Hundert and provost John L. Anderson by the College of Arts and Sciences faculty. On March 2, 2006, both no-confidence votes were carried: 131–44 against Hundert and 97–68 against Anderson.

In August 2008, Krauss joined the faculty at Arizona State University as a Foundation Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at the Department of Physics in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He also became the Director of the Origins Project, a university initiative “created to explore humankind’s most fundamental questions about our origins”. In 2009, he helped inaugurate this initiative at the Origins Symposium, in which eighty scientists participated and three thousand people attended.

Krauss has written a number of popular books such as The Physics of Star Trek (1995) and A Universe from Nothing (2012) as well as chairing for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists Board of Sponsors.

Lawrence Maxwell Krauss (born May 27 1954) is an American-Canadian theoretical scientist and Cosmologist who worked at Arizona State University, Yale University and Case Western Reserve University. He was the founder of ASU’s Origins Project, now called ASU Interplanetary initiative to explore fundamental questions regarding the universe. He also served as Director of the initiative. In the course of investigating allegations of sexual misconduct committed by Krauss, ASU determined that Krauss had violated the university’s policies and dismissed him as director of directorship of the Origins Project directorship in July 2018. He continued to be a Professor at ASU until he retired in May 2019. He currently serves as the President of The Origins Project Foundation and as host of The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss.

Krauss is primarily involved in the field of the area of theoretical physics. He has also done research papers on a wide range of topics in this area. In 1995, he suggested that the energy density in the universe is controlled with the power of space empty. In 1998, his prediction has been confirmed through two collaborations in observation and in the year 2011 the Nobel Prize was awarded for their findings. Krauss has proposed a model where his Universe could have been born in “nothing”, as outlined in his publication A Universe from Nothing. He claims that certain combinations of quantum field relativity could explain the origins in the Universe as we know it . He also states that the author “has no idea if the notion [of taking quantum mechanics for granted] can be usefully dispensed with”. The fact that his model appears to match the experimental evidence regarding the Universe (such as its shape and energy density) It is often called by some as an “plausible hypothesis”. However, his theory has been challenged by Cosmologist George Ellis and mathematical physicist I. S. Kohli who have both argued that his assertions concerning A Universe from Nothing “are not supported in full by modern general relativity theory or quantum field theory in curved spacetime”.

Krauss attended and was a speaker at the Beyond Belief symposia in November 2006 and October 2008. He served on the science policy committee for Barack Obama’s first (2008) presidential campaign and, also in 2008, was named co- president of the board of sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. In 2010, he was elected to the board of directors of the Federation of American Scientists, and in June 2011, he joined the professoriate of the New College of the Humanities, a private college in London. In 2013, he accepted a part-time professorship at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics in the physics department of the Australian National University.
