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
I think simplicity is a good guide: The more economical a theory, the better. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
There are a lot of mysteries about quantum mechanics, but they mostly arise in very detailed measurements in controlled settings. — 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
Maybe dark matter is denser than we usually assume, kind of like the Milky Way plane. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Science is a combination of theory and experiment and the two together are how you make progress. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
All the normal matter in the Milky Way disc is denser than the dark matter that surrounds it. — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Physicists are interested in measuring neutrino properties because they tell us about the structure of the Standard Model, the well-tested theory that… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
It's not completely obvious what gravity is, fundamentally, or what dimensions are, fundamentally. One of these days we'll understand better what we… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
You have to be careful when you use beauty as a guide. There are many theories people didn't think were beautiful at… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
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
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 don't think about a theory of everything when I do my research. And even if we knew the ultimate underlying theory,… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
In the history of physics, every time we've looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we've found things that… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
Physics has entered a remarkable era. Ideas that were once the realm of science fiction are now entering our theoretical and… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
“Despite my resistance to hyperbole, the LHC belongs to a world that can only be described with superlatives. It is not merely… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
When you're reaching out to people beyond the scientific community, image does matter. — Lisa Randall Copy Share
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
Physicists have yet to understand why the Higgs boson's mass is what it is, — Lisa Randall Copy Share
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
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
When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective. — Lisa Randall Copy Share
What makes me different as a scientist is that I'm kind of imaginative. The ideas just happen. — Lisa Randall Copy Share
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
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
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
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
I think simplicity is a good guide: The more economical a theory, the better. — Lisa Randall Copy Share
Speculation and the exploration of ideas beyond what we know with certainty are what lead to progress. — Lisa Randall Copy Share
Physics has entered a remarkable era. Ideas that were once the realm of science fiction are now entering our theoretical and maybe even… — Lisa Randall Copy Share
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… — Lisa Randall Copy Share
