My sister was reading “Vogue”:http:\/\/www.style.com\/vogue\/<\/a> the other day and happened upon an article about Professor “Lisa Randall”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lisa_Randall.<\/a> Not only is she a triple tenured professor at “Princeton”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Princeton_University,<\/a> “MIT”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/MIT,<\/a> and “Harvard”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harvard,<\/a> a leading expert on “particle physics”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Particle_physics,<\/a> “string theory”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/String_theory,<\/a> and “cosmology”:http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cosmology,<\/a> in “Time\u2019s 100 Scientists and Thinkers”:http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/specials\/2007\/time100\/article\/0,28804,1595326_1595329_1615997,00.html<\/a> for 2007, and author of “Warped Passages”:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Warped-Passages-Unraveling-Mysteries-Dimensions\/dp\/0060531096\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199318101&sr=8-1,<\/a> she\u2019s pretty good lookin’, too. I\u2019ve been particularly interested in higher dimensions for quite a while. In addition to Warped Passages, which I just started, I suggest reading “The Fourth Dimension”:http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/4th-Dimension-Toward-Geometry-Reality\/dp\/0395344204\/ref=sr_1_21?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1199318341&sr=8-21,<\/a> which is another great read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
