In Warped Passages one of the world's most exciting scientists gives us a glimpse into our
future. Incredibly readable - and illustrated throughout - it allows the general reader to
understand the questions that scientists are dealing with at the frontiers of research today.
Lisa Randall allows the reader to understand the kind of problems that extra dimensions might
solve and the kind of speculation that is needed even to imagine them. She also gives an
introduction to developments in early twentieth century physics particle physics and string
theory and addresses current debates about relativity quantum mechanics and gravity - and she
describes the questions that are still to be solved.
