We live in a world where there are many risks, and it's high time we start taking seriously which ones we should be worried about. Lisa Randall highliverisk Change image and share on social
You have to be careful when you use beauty as a guide. There are many theories people didn't think were beautiful at the time but did find beautiful later - and vice versa. Lisa Randall beautifulbeautycareful Change image and share on social
I don't necessarily make much art myself, but after I wrote 'Warped Passages,' I was fortunate to get involved a little in the art world. I got invited to write a libretto for what we called a projective opera, and I also got invited to curate an art exhibit. Lisa Randall artcallcurate share on social
Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core. Lisa Randall basecoredifferently Change image and share on social
Organized religion and musicals present tenets to live by that don't entirely make sense but, on the whole, make people who believe them secure, thus giving an appearance of inclusiveness. Lisa Randall appearancegiveinclusiveness Change image and share on social
Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it's all fascinating. Lisa Randall connectionexcitfascinate Change image and share on social
If you look through the shelves of science books, you'll find row after row of books written by men. This can be terribly off-putting for women. Lisa Randall bookfindman Change image and share on social
I started out working on supersymmetry. The theory predicts that for every particle we know about, there will be an additional particle. Lisa Randall additionalparticlepredict Change image and share on social
I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is you have to look at really small distances. And to get to small distances, you need high energies. Lisa Randall basicdistanceenergy share on social
It's not completely obvious what gravity is, fundamentally, or what dimensions are, fundamentally. One of these days we'll understand better what we mean, what is the fundamental thing that's given us space in the first place and dimensions of space in particular.
