"Warped Passages promises much and delivers more. An eminent pioneer in the exploration of extra spatial dimensions not only recounts her fascinating trek, but also expertly describes the larger terrain of precursor developments in particle physics that have led to the hypothesis of more dimensions." - David J. Gross, Nobel Prize winner in Physics. "Lisa Randall certainly ranks as one of the leading theorists in cosmology . It is fascinating to envisage that there could be another universe just a few inches away, but inaccessible to us because those few inches are measured in a fourth spatial dimension and we are imprisoned in our three dimensions." - Sir Martin Rees, Royal Society Professor at Kings College and author of Our Cosmic Habitat. "The universe has its secrets. It may even hide extra dimensions, different from anything ever imagined. A whole raft of remarkable concepts now rides atop the scientific firmament, including parallel universes, warped geometry, and three-dimensional sink-holes. We understand far more about the world that we did just a few short years ago -- and yet we are more uncertain about the true nature of the universe than ever before. Have we reached a point of scientific discovery so advanced that the laws of physics as we know them are simply not sufficient? Will we all soon have to accept explanations that previously remained in the realm of science fiction? Lisa Randall is herself making these extraordinary breakthroughs, pushing back the boundaries of science in her research to answer some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature. For example, why is the gravitational field from the entire Earth so defenseless against the small tug of a tiny magnet? Searching for answers to such seemingly irresolvable questions has led physicists to postulate extra dimensions, the presence of which may lead to unimaginable gains in scientific understanding. Randall takes us into the incredible world of warped, hidden dimensions that underpin the universe we live in, describing how we might prove their existence, while examining the questions that they still leave unanswered. Warped Passages provides an exhilarating overview that tracks the arc of discovery from early twentieth-century physics to the razor's edge of today's particle physics and string theory, unweaving the current debates about relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity. In a highly readable style sure to entertain and elucidated, Lisa Randall demystifies the science and beguilingly unravels the mysteries of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond the one we are only now beginning to know." -- from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Lisa Randall is a leading theoretical physicistt and expert on particle physics, string theory, and cosmology. She works on one of the two main competing models of string theory in the quest to explain the fabric of reality, and was the first tenured woman in the Princeton physics department and the first tenured woman theoretical physicist at MIT and Harvard. Her work has attracted enormous interest and is among the most cited in all of science.
