Lisa Randall talked about her book Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe’s Hidden Dimensions, published by Ecco. In the book she discussed the possibility of there being extra dimensions in the universe beyond the time and three space dimensions familiar to people today. Using chart, graphs, and pictures, Professor Randall discussed the theories that have led scientists to believe that there are extra dimensions, including string theory. She outlined a new theory involving “branes” that she has co-developed and talked about the likelihood that the existence of extra dimensions would be proven experimentally within the next five years. Following her presentation, Ms. Randall responded to questions and comments from members of the audience. close
