Expanding Our Horizons: Matter, Space and the Universe - Lisa Randall | Published on Jul 10, 2013 This session explores the almost unfathomable scales of theoretical physics, from the mysterious properties of dark matter to the depths of our universe and beyond. Experiments, like the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva that smashes together protons at high energies, tell us about the smallest length scales we can observe today while measurements of the universe stretch our observations of large length scales to their limits. Theoretical physicists like Lisa Randall tie the results of these experiments to mysteries about our universe. Professor Randall will tell us about the Higgs boson discovery and its implications. She will also explore possibilities for the nature of dark matter and of space itself. Can there be an unseen extra dimension in our universe? Theoretical physics truly knows no bounds |
Higgs Boson, Physics and the Real World with Dr. Lisa Randall | Published on Jun 17, 2013 Prof. Lisa Randall joins The Deep End hosted by Walter Kirn to discuss the issues of approaching physics and science while living in a non-scientific society and the limits of human understanding. She provides insight on the Higgs Boson "God Particle," as well as the use of the Supercollider and the expanding understanding of the universe through modern scientific theory and method. GUEST BIO: Lisa Randall is an American theoretical physicist and a leading expert on particle physics and cosmology. She works on several of the competing models of string theory in the quest to explain the fabric of the universe. |
