There could be more to the universe than the three dimensions we are familiar with. They are hidden from us in some way, perhaps because they’re tiny or warped. But even if they’re invisible, they could affect what we actually observe in the universe. Lisa Randall Read Quote
What I do is very theoretical. It won’t necessarily have implications for anything anyone is doing tomorrow, yet you know that there’s a sense of progress in science, and as we understand more, it just turns out that, somehow, the world evolves with us. Lisa Randall Read Quote
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. Lisa Randall Read Quote
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 Read Quote
People who dismiss science in favor of religion sometimes confuse the challenge of rigorously understanding the world with a deliberate intellectual exclusion that leads them to mistrust scientists and, to their detriment, what they discover. Lisa Randall Read Quote
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 Read Quote
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 Read Quote
