Warped Passages- Lisa Randall

Lisa Randall, who holds the title of Professor of Science at Harvard University, has written articles in cosmology and theoretical particle physics in many journals. As a result of their work with Raman Sundrum, they proposed solving the hierarchy problem with a new high-dimensional mechanism. It took the name “Randal-Sundrum Model”.
We have entered a new era in physics with additional dimensions of the universe, dice, and string theory. We discovered the warping of spacetime with special relativity. Quantum physics has allowed us to dig deeper into particles and open our eyes to a universe full of uncertainties by showing how scales and the way we understand the universe can change.

Now we dig deeper in investigating the building blocks of spacetime.

By understanding the dimensional structure of our universe, “Warped Passages” seeks to answer why gravity is weak, why particles have such spin numbers, whether we can move to another dimension, or why we can be 3 space dimensional instead of 5 dimensional.

In the book, it is one of the books that best describes the 5th dimension of the universe, dice and strings, without being boring, with some storytelling parts through characters like Ike, its fluent style and its writing in a way that will appeal to everyone without avoiding technical information.
