Lisa Randall Quotes

Religion can have psychological and social roles, but in terms of really explaining how things work, science works differently. Science is based on material elements at the core Picture Quote #1

Scientific research involves going beyond the well-trodden and well-tested ideas and theories that form the core of scientific knowledge. During the time scientists are working things out, some results will be right, and others will be wrong. Over time, the right results will emerge Picture Quote #1

Both religions and musicals work best with energetic and committed believers. Cynicism or detachment would have destroyed the magic - something true of religion, too Picture Quote #1

The best science frequently combines an awareness of broad and significant problems with focus on an apparently small issue or detail that someone very much wants to solve or understand. Sometimes these little problems or inconsistencies turn out to be the clues to big advances Picture Quote #1

A musical, like most religions, provides the audience or followers with a sense of belonging. Religious services, on the other hand, with their staged performances, invigorating songs, popular wisdom and shared experience, are almost a form of community theater Picture Quote #1

I actually like seeing how the world - trying to figure out how the world works, how it all fits together. Also, it makes me happy when I feel like things are consistent, when there’s some sort of order to the universe Picture Quote #1

I do theoretical particle physics. We’re trying to understand the most basic structure of matter. And the way you do that is you have to look at really small distances. And to get to small distances, you need high energies Picture Quote #1

In the history of physics, every time we’ve looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we’ve found things that we wouldn’t have thought were there. You look inside the atom, and eventually you discover quarks. Who would have thought that? Picture Quote #1

What I do is very theoretical. It won’t necessarily have implications for anything anyone is doing tomorrow, yet you know that there’s a sense of progress in science, and as we understand more, it just turns out that, somehow, the world evolves with us Picture Quote #1

I don’t necessarily make much art myself, but after I wrote ‘Warped Passages,’ I was fortunate to get involved a little in the art world. I got invited to write a libretto for what we called a projective opera, and I also got invited to curate an art exhibit Picture Quote #1

An almost indispensable skill for any creative person is the ability to pose the right questions. Creative people identify promising, exciting, and, most important, accessible routes to progress - and eventually formulate the questions correctly Picture Quote #1

Physicists are interested in measuring neutrino properties because they tell us about the structure of the Standard Model, the well-tested theory that describes matter’s most basic elements and interactions Picture Quote #1

If you keep telling girls they’re less good at science, that will probably be self-fulfilling. But there are quite a lot of women who are good at it Picture Quote #1

The process of science is difficult and challenging. It involves always being aware that your ideas might be right or they might be wrong. I think it’s that kind of balance that makes science so interesting Picture Quote #1

When you’re reaching out to people beyond the scientific community, image does matter Picture Quote #1

For me, the most absorbing films are those that address big questions and real ideas but embody them in small examples that we can appreciate and comprehend Picture Quote #1

Harvard freshmen are smart, interested, and excited, and it’s fun hearing their different perspectives and stuff that they will share Picture Quote #1

The scientist is also a composer... You could think of science as discovering one particular thing - a supernova or whatever. You could also think of it as discovering this whole new way of seeing the world Picture Quote #1

There are women for whom family is a priority, and they do it. It just wasn’t as much a priority for me Picture Quote #1

I don’t think we have reached a point where art really translates into science. Perhaps for some people, having good visuals can help translate into science Picture Quote #1

There are many aspects of time we just do not understand. That’s the thing about writing a popular book: You realize the things you understand because for those you can give a really simple explanation. But some things about time I just don’t know how to give simple explanations for, even though I can tell you mathematically what’s going on Picture Quote #1

Organized religion and musicals present tenets to live by that don’t entirely make sense but, on the whole, make people who believe them secure, thus giving an appearance of inclusiveness Picture Quote #1

Neuroscience is exciting. Understanding how thoughts work, how connections are made, how the memory works, how we process information, how information is stored - it’s all fascinating Picture Quote #1

When it comes to the world around us, is there any choice but to explore? Picture Quote #1

Secrets of the cosmos will begin to unravel. I, for one, can’t wait Picture Quote #1

We certainly don’t yet know all the answers. But the universe is about to be pried open Picture Quote #1

When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a problem that people are considered immoral if they’re not religious. That’s just not true... If you do something for a religious reason, you do it because you’ll be rewarded in an afterlife or in this world. That’s not quite as good as something you do for purely generous reasons Picture Quote #1

We should figure out how to do this so that some parents don’t feel disenfranchised, angry and upset. It says a lot about the state of where we are in the city, the role of parents and the reality of small school and combining schools Picture Quote #1

Speculation and the exploration of ideas beyond what we know with certainty are what lead to progress Picture Quote #1
