A few days ago I stopped in at my local chain book store to let a book choose me. There on the shelf I found a popular physics book on the subject of extra dimensions. I first learned about extra hidden dimensions existing all around us while reading a book on string theory from whence they cometh as a natural consequence. Written by a young woman named Lisa Randall, I was not taken by her name as I was by Lacy J. Dalton. There is a name. Nay. I was impressed by her photograph. Ms. Randall is a professor studying particle physics at Yale, which if one remembers is the Alma mater of actress Jodie Foster. Lisa Randall's photo is the spitting image of Jodie Foster. Could it be that Ms. Foster wrote the book on hidden dimensions while teaching advanced physics under a pseudonym? Stranger things have happened. Steve Wozniak, of Apple fame, earned his degree at Berkeley under a false name. Just asking.
Pseudonyms are further proof that we're all on this flight together.
