The universe has many secrets.
It may hide additional dimensions of space other than the
familier three we recognize. There might even be another universe
adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable . . . for now.
"Warped Passages"
is a brilliantly readable and altogether exhilarating journey
that tracks the arc of discovery from early twentieth-century
physics to the razor's edge of modern scientific theory. 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.
