I really enjoy listening to Me. Randall, speak. She know her work and really study. She speak about Science, like just a conversation, I have learn so much from her work. And watching these videos I learn so much more. Besides she is very Beautiful. I have learn to love Science, at a older age. Thank you for this video. ❤️

I don't know wheater String Theory is empericaly supported or not. Just came here to enjoy beauty of Lisa Randall 😅😂

Interesting... There had been a formal proof that this extra, infinite dimension was impossible and yet, there was this demonstration of that exact thing. To me, that is awesome and also that it merely begs the question of formal proofs of impossibility. Who ever thought that up obviously missed something. Such is life... and science.

without Ion Murgu Condition of Uniform Travel and Phytagorean triple, you will not have a good tool there.

I post everywhere where I smell an intelligence what can to contribute critic and creative for what I think is first base for Physics. I know is a surprise and people need time to understand it.

[@louf1943]

With all her intelligence I wonder if she can function on with simple situations in a daily basis.

[@Someguy-my3he]

So far she's survived.

Why not ? You mean a dumb women can because they dont realise the simplicity - they just make babies ,since they are the future eg not smart women . Why not ask can a smart man survice ,answear is No. Nerds dream about beutiful women and sex but not Einstein since he didnt like it since the lost his intuition ( i guess )- yes ask a boxer if sex made him worse -yes ,ask me if sex makes you dumb -answear is yes or maybe there are thresholds - dunno

At times it should be hard... do you remember Pierre Curie's ill fate?

[@AchwaqKhalid]

0:34 Why aren't we aware of those hidden dimensions? i think this question has already been answered by Edward Witten in a quote: " As far as extra dimensions are concerned, very tiny extra dimensions wouldn't be perceived in everyday life, just as atoms aren't: we see many atoms together but we don't see atoms individually ".

[@AchwaqKhalid]

0:38 and even that Richard Feynman's famous saying: "If you can't explain something to a first year student, then you haven't really understood it." Albert Einstein also said way before: "if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough".

Dumbing down only provides excuses, if they were needed, for trolls to follow on with worse. Dumbing up with lovely sounding theory that is really fantasy is, at best, a way of getting a discussion going; different sort of troll?
Good analogy is priceless. If we are standing on the road crossing and a truck that cannot stop in time approaches, that is where the art of pointing out the obvious clearly is most appreciated. If no one else can follow you that's evolution.

I've been told I look distressed when I'm concentrating, even though I'm not distressed. When you're focused on ideas or tasks, your body language isn't the same as it would be when discussing people or events, and you may unconsciously telegraph nonexistent discomfort. Best not to read too much into it unless you know the person well.

[@AchwaqKhalid]

@lockwright You sir just said what i was about to say, thumb up to you.

[@aminkanji8501]

What a beauty Lisa

[@jeffreysegal2065]

why do the audience members keep asking the same question?

[@vlmakris]

Lisa was awesome here! Thank you for sharing this discussion.

[@bradhaynes]

Dr. Randall looks kind of uncomfortable throughout this talk.

[@byrnejonathan12]

Dr. Randall is simply elegant, brilliant and fascinating as usual. I showed this to my astronomy class. They loved it!

[@gsanewphysics8902]

Did you know Einstein was very poor in astronomy?

[@BryanDraughn]

What's a metaphor for a metaphor?

4:00 intro is over

yes and she seemed to have an agenda to belittle what Marsha had said earlier.
