The standard model of particle physics describes forces and particles very well, but when you throw gravity into the equation, it all… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
“The particle’s discovery is tremendously exciting. It’s also inspirational. Let’s just enjoy that for now.” — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I do theoretical particle physics. We're trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I started out working on supersymmetry. The theory predicts that for every particle we know about, there will be an additional particle. — 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
