You learn that the interest is in what you don't yet know and that theories evolve. But we nonetheless have progress and improved knowledge over time. Lisa Randall evolveimproveinterest Change image and share on social
The best science frequently combines an awareness of broad and significant problems with focus on an apparently small issue or detail that someone very much wants to solve or understand. Sometimes these little problems or inconsistencies turn out to be the clues to big advances. Lisa Randall advanceapparentlyawareness share on social

I don't think we have reached a point where art really translates into science. Perhaps for some people, having good visuals can help translate into science. Lisa Randall artgoodpeople Change image and share on social
The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all falls apart. You have to fudge the figures to make it work. Lisa Randall describeequationfall Change image and share on social
In the history of physics, every time we've looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we've found things that we wouldn't have thought were there. You look inside the atom, and eventually you discover quarks. Who would have thought that? Lisa Randall atomdiscoverenergy share on social
