RSA Keynote
What is the role of science in the modern world? How do we decide which scientific questions to study? What is the role of risk, uncertainty, and creativity in scientific thinking?One of the most highly regarded theoretical physicists in the world visits the RSA to outline the biggest scientific questions we face, and reveals how answering them could ultimately tell us who we are and where we came from.
The bestselling author of 'Warped Passages', one of Time magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People in the World’ and one of Esquire’s ‘75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,’ Professor Lisa Randall is an expert on both particle physics and cosmology. She explains how the latest developments in physics have the potential to radically revise our understanding of the universe: its make-up, its evolution and the fundamental forces that determine its operation.
