Quotes About Lisa Randall

You can be only a modest distance away from the gravity brane, and gravity will be incredibly weak.

Travel at faster than the speed of light certainly can have dramatic implications that are difficult to understand, such as time travel.

I really like that my work is getting more people interested in science.

In fairness, I don't think that everyone understands what I say, but I think they understand part of it and part of what the issues are... Just the same way that people like a good painting, I think people really like understanding, knowing about the world.

Ordinary matter's interaction with electromagnetic radiation is responsible for this collapse. An important distinction between ordinary matter and dark matter is that ordinary matter can radiate.

The weak force violates parity symmetry by acting differently on left-handed and right-handed particles. It turns out that only left-handed particles experience the weak force. For example, a left-handed electron would experience the weak force, whereas one spinning to the right would not. Experiments show this clearly—it's the way the world works—but there is no intuitive, mechanical explanation for why this should be so.

COBE discovered the quantum fluctuations that were generated when the Universe was roughly the size of a grain of sand, and which are ultimately the origin of you

The particle's discovery is tremendously exciting. It's also inspirational. Let's just enjoy that for now.

Spacetime can be so warped that the gravitational field becomes highly concentrated in a small region near a brane—so concentrated that the huge expanse of an infinite dimension is inconsequential.
