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.
