One of the world's leading theoretical physicists, Lisa Randall provides astonishing scientific possibilities that, until recently, were restricted to the realm of science fiction. Unraveling the twisted threads of the most current debates on relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity, she explores some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature—taking us into the warped, hidden dimensions underpinning the universe we live in, demystifying the science of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond our own.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“Lisa Randall, a leading theorist, has made major contributions to both particle physics and cosmology.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrian Greene, bestselling author of The Elegant Universe and The Fabrics of the Cosmos\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Randall is one of the most influencial and exciting young theoretical Physicists working in elementary particle physics and cosmology today.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLee Smolin, author of Three Roads to Quantum Gravity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A great read. . . .
