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.
