She is one of the most highly-cited thinkers in theoretical physics . Lisa Randall is an expert on particle physics , string theory and cosmology at Harvard . Her theories about hidden dimensions and dark matter are not only revolutionary but most likely . Considered as one of the people with more influence in the scientific paradigms of the XXI century , everybody knew that she was into something big when Stephen Hawking saved her a seat at a banquet after a conference where she presented her work . She has another great skill : to explain the mysteries of physics to the general public in a very attractive and interesting way , and if you read her top selling books Knocking on Heaven ’ s Door and Warped Passages you will understand what I mean . A couple of weeks ago , I had the pleasure of interviewing this amazing woman , and these were her amazing answers .
