Professor - Beauty and Space Thursday afternoon

The Harvard School of Theoretical Physics is currently of interest to scientists worldwide because this is the place where the hypothesis of the Multi-dimensional Space is contrary to the theory of 4-dimensional space in the theory of broad relativity of the scientist. famous Albert Einstein.

The author of the revolutionary hypothesis is Professor Lisa Randall . With this proposal, she became the most mentioned scientific figure in many newspapers and radio stations today. Works Roundabout : Revealing the secrets of hidden universe dimensions (Warped Passages: Unraveling the Universe's Hidden Dimensions) of the New York Times newspaper was chosen as one of the 100 most famous books. 2005.

Her name is also in Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential figures in 2007. According to statistics in the fall of 2004, Randall became the most cited theoretical physicist in the world (about 10,000 times) in the last 5 years.

Her two articles: A Large mass Hierarchy From Small Extra Dimension and An Alternative to Compactification, each article is cited about 2,500 times. Be aware that the number of times cited by others is the most objective, most prestigious criterion that evaluates the quality of a scientific article. Newsweek Weekly gave her the title One of the most promising theoretical physicists of his age in the Who's Next in 2006 list.

Lisa Randall (American, born in 1962) was blessed with both privileges: both extremely beautiful and extremely intelligent, once voted by the world's most prestigious fashion magazine, GS - Beauty .

As a high school student, little Randall won many awards, such as Finding the Scientific Talent of National Westinghouse, the Young Science Foundation's Young Researcher Award . At 25, she was earned a doctorate at Harvard University, then a tutor, Associate Professor of MIT. During 1998-2001 she was a professor at both MIT and Princeton universities; since 2001 is Harvard University Professor. Lisa Randall was the first woman to be taught physics at Princeton University, the first female theoretical physicist at both MIT and Harvard, both of which are well-known research institutions worldwide.

Lisa Randall has received numerous honors and awards, the following are just a few: the prize of Rome La Sapienza University (Italy, 2003); the Klopsted Award of the American Physical Teachers Association (2006), the Julius Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society (2007); Science idol title 2005 voted by Seed magazine .

In August 2007, Lisa Randall gave lectures at the University of Tokyo, with a focus on introducing her new hypothesis: Earth could exist on Thursday afternoon.

During a basic particle experiment, Lisa Randall suddenly discovered that there were particles that suddenly disappeared - which was in great conflict with Einstein's theory of general relativity. She boldly assumes: These particles may be flying into Space on Thursday afternoon so they suddenly disappear like that. Randall said: 'I think that on Earth there is a fifth dimension space. If this assumption is correct, then other spaces are not far away from us, and can even be said to be far away from us. . Only what they hide is so clever that I can't see it . '

Randall's revolutionary hypothesis will have the opportunity to be demonstrated experimentally in 2008, when the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) completes the construction of the accelerator and the large-powerful particle (Large Hadron). Collider). This is a great-scale underground construction being constructed urgently below a depth of 100 meters on the Swiss-French border, a collective effort of six countries, at a cost of $ 8 billion, began construction. erected 20 years ago.

The experiment proves that Randall's hypothesis will be able to proceed in the following way: gradually increasing the velocity of the two proton beams moving in a 27 km circle-shaped tunnel to the speed of light, then allowing them to collide in opposite directions. with a frequency of 800 million times per second, thereby releasing a multitude of smaller particles than protons - this way can reconstruct the big bang (Big Bang) that forms the universe. If it happens that some particles disappear then it is possible to prove that they have flown into the Fifth dimensional space that people cannot see.

If the hypothesis of GS - The beautiful Lisa Randall proved to be true, that also means that in the not too distant future, mankind can open the door of a multidimensional world and countless mysteries. The earth will also be decoded. No one can predict how Randall's new theory will open up physical science for new horizons.
