📚 3 Books mentioned in "Lisa Randall: Dark Matter, Theoretical Physics, and Extinction Events | Lex Fridman Podcast #403" of Lex Fridman Podcast

In my book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, I talk about the many different ways. There's eight or nine that we deduce not just the existence of dark matter but how much is there.

Lisa Randall discusses her book, 'Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs,' where she explores the various methods scientists use to conclude the existence and measure the quantity of dark matter.

Okay, so you also write in that book about dark matter having to do something with the extinction events, the extinction of the dinosaurs, which is kind of a fascinating presentation of how everything is connected.

In this segment, Lisa Randall discusses her book in relation to dark matter and its connection to extinction events, specifically the extinction of the dinosaurs. She highlights how her theories present a fascinating interconnectedness between these topics.

So I'm really, really glad you mentioned that because actually, that was one of the main points of my book, Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs. One of the reasons I wrote it was because I really think we are abusing the planet.

Lisa Randall discusses her book 'Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs,' highlighting how it reflects her concerns about the planet's abuse and the significant changes it faces.

And I think that's just good advice for everything, to try to find like why it is the way it is. I talk about effective theory in my second book, "Knocking on Heaven's Door," a lot.

In the podcast, Lisa Randall discusses the concept of effective theory and references her second book, 'Knocking on Heaven's Door,' explaining its significance in the context of her understanding of physics.

I mean, one of the really interesting pieces of physics we did that I talk about in my first book, "Warped Passages," is finding out that there can be a higher dimension, but only locally do you think there's a gravity of a lower dimension.

Lisa Randall discusses her book, 'Warped Passages,' highlighting her findings on higher dimensions and their implications on gravity. She refers to it as her first book, establishing her as the author of the mentioned content.
