Krauss. The book explores the history of the universe through the life cycle of a single atom, tracing its journey from the primordial origins of the Big Bang to its integration into biological life on Earth and its future beyond. By blending accessible physics with philosophical inquiry, Krauss illustrates how the fundamental building blocks of matter connect all existence, bridging the gap between cosmology and the human experience. The work stands as an insightful examination of the atomic nature of the cosmos, providing a unique perspective on the origins and evolution of matter. Through rigorous explanation and thoughtful reflection, it invites readers to understand their place within the vast, unfolding narrative of the universe.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/atom-an-odyssey-from-the-big-bang-to-life-on-earth-and-beyond/340025/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/atom-an-odyssey-from-the-big-bang-to-life-on-earth-and-beyond/340025.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Miles","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",11,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the core subject of the book 'Atom'?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"The book explores the history of the universe by following the journey of a single atom from its origins in the Big Bang to its role in life on Earth.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"Who is the author of 'Atom: An Odyssey from the Big Bang to Life on Earth and Beyond'?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"The book was written by Lawrence M.
