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 Copy Share Image
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… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
When you're reaching out to people beyond the scientific community, image does matter. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Creativity is essential to particle physics, cosmology, and to mathematics, and to other fields of science, just as it is to its more widely… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is, — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
If such external influences are intrinsic to religion, then logic and scientific thought dictate that there must be a mechanism by which this influence… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
There is real confusion about what it means to be right and wrong - the difference between what spiritual beliefs are and what science… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
What makes me different as a scientist is that I'm kind of imaginative. The ideas just happen. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
There could be more to the universe than the three dimensions we are familiar with. They are hidden from us in some way, perhaps… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
There are many aspects of time we just do not understand. That’s the thing about writing a popular book: You realize the things you… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
We should figure out how to do this so that some parents don't feel disenfranchised, angry and upset. It says a lot about the… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I did not set out to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. I'm a particle physicist, and I was actually thinking about dark matter… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I think simplicity is a good guide: The more economical a theory, the better. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
