Lisa Randall — Dark Matter and the Astounding Interconnectedness of Everything by On Being Studios published on 2015-11-12T17:14:44Z “Our world is rich,” Lisa Randall has written, “so rich that two of the most important questions particle physicists ask are: Why this richness? How is all the matter that I see related?” As one of the most influential theoretical physicists working today, she's increasingly interested in the interconnectedness between fields that have previously operated more autonomously: astronomy, biology, and paleontology. She’s pursuing a theory that “dark matter” might have created the cosmic event that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs — and hence humanity’s rise as a species. We explore what she’s discovering, as well as the human questions and takeaways her work throws into relief.

Couldn't it be viewed as it does in fact interact with light, just in a different kind of way? 2016-09-29T10:50:02Z Comment by John Giessler We interact with light so everything should interact with light - nailed it! So much more out there that we can't 'see.' 2015-11-19T06:38:17Z Comment by queenholifield dont care 2015-11-16T16:25:01Z
