When you're reaching out to people beyond the scientific community, image does matter. — 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
If you look through the shelves of science books, you'll find row after row of books written by men. This can be… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
I was always good at math, but I was good at everything. It sounds obnoxious, but I was just smart. In school,… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
You learn that the interest is in what you don't yet know and that theories evolve. But we nonetheless have progress and… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
What I do is very theoretical. It won't necessarily have implications for anything anyone is doing tomorrow, yet you know that there's… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
We have this very clean picture of science, you know, these well-established rules with which we make predictions. But when you're really… — 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
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
You have principles. You test them as accurately as you can. Eventually, they might break down. — 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
The scientist is also a composer... You could think of science as discovering one particular thing - a supernova or whatever. You… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
If you are a responsible scientist, you are going to present your new results in a paper, and maybe if, over time,… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
The thing I will say is that probably culturally, women are treated differently, which means, I think, you're criticized more, you have… — Lisa Randall Copy Share Image
If you keep telling girls they're less good at science, that will probably be self-fulfilling. But there are quite a lot of… — 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
