There might even be another universe adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable . . . for now. </p> <p> <i>Warped Passages</i> is a brilliantly readable and altogether exhilarating journey that tracks the arc of discovery from early twentieth-century physics to the razor's edge of modern scientific theory. One of the world's leading theoretical physicists, Lisa Randall provides astonishing scientific possibilities that, until recently, were restricted to the realm of science fiction. Unraveling the twisted threads of the most current debates on relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity, she explores some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature&#8212taking us into the warped, hidden dimensions underpinning the universe we live in, demystifying the science of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond our own. </p> 65942 2005 Warped Passages: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions total:193|5:48|4:73|3:57|2:11|1:4| 193 729 491 54 3 2 false false Fri Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 06 14:12:56 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 13 20:15:44 -0700 2008
