Join physicist Lawrence Krauss for an onstage conversation with filmmaker Werner Herzog and world renowned economist and public intellectual Jeffrey Sachs, where they will highlight the climate-related issues raised in Herzog's film Salt & Fire and answer questions from the audience, as they talk about the significance of addressing these areas and the significant impact they have on just about everything we do and how we may plan for the best future for us and the planet we live on.
Werner Herzog is one of the most influential filmmakers to emerge from the New German Cinema movement and has been a creative force in filmmaking for over 40 years. Known both for his startling vision in feature films such as "Fata Morgana," "Heart of Glass," and "Nosferatu" and his total commitment to realizing his vision, Herzog increasingly turned to documentary filmmaking in the 1990s and 2000s with critically-acclaimed films such as "Little Dieter Needs to Fly" (1997) and "Grizzly Man" (2005). His more recent work includes his latest documentary "Lo and Behold," which is about the internet and features Elon Musk, Lawrence Krauss and others.
Jeffrey Sachs is a world renowned professor of economics, leader in sustainable development, senior UN advisor, bestselling author, and syndicated columnist whose monthly newspaper columns appear in more than 80 countries.
Lawrence Krauss is an author, professor, physicist, public intellectual and host of The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss, as well as director of the Origins Project Foundation, a non-profit focused on celebrating knowledge, skeptical inquiry, and creativity through science and culture.

Join critically-acclaimed author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and world-renowned theoretical physicist and author Lawrence Krauss as they discuss biology, cosmology, religion, and a host of other topics.
The authors will also discuss their new books. Dawkins recently published The Magic of Reality: How We Know Whats Really True, an exploration of the magic of discovery embodied in the practice of science. Written for all age groups, the book moves forward from historical examples of supernatural explanations of natural phenomena to focus on the actual science behind how the world works.
Krausss latest book, A Universe from Nothing: Why There is Something Rather than Nothing, explains the scientific advances that provide insight into how the universe formed. Krauss tackles the age-old assumption that something cannot arise from nothing by arguing that not only can something arise from nothing, but something will always arise from nothing.
Founded in 2008, the ASU Origins Project is a university-wide transdisciplinary initiative aimed at facilitating cutting edge research and inquiry about origins questions, enhancing public science literacy, and improving science education. Since its inception, the Origins Project has brought the worlds leading scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, to Tempe to explore origins questions. The Origins Project has hosted workshops and public events that have focused on questions as fundamental as the origin of the universe, how life began, the origins of human uniqueness, and the origins of morality.")
