Entrevista con Lawrence Krauss

A continuación les muestro una entrevista de Scientific American a Lawrence Krauss, donde le preguntan sobre los problemas que todavía no se han resuelto en la física. El artículo completo está en Questions That Plague Physics

Chair of the physics department at Case Western Reserve University, Lawrence M. Krauss is famed in the research community for his prescient suggestion that a still mysterious entity called dark energy might be the key to understanding the beginnings of the universe. He is also an outspoken social critic and in February was among 60 prominent scientists who signed a letter entitle "Restoring Scientific Integrity in Policymaking," complaining of the Bush administration's missuse of science. The public, tough, might know him best as an op-ed writher and author of books with mass appeal. His 1995 work, The Physics of Star Trek, became a best-seller, translated into 15 languages. He is now finishing his seventh popular title, Hiding in the Mirror: The Mysterious Allure of Extra Dimension, which he describes as an "exploration of our long-standing literary, artistic and scientific love affair with the idea that the are hidden universes out there." Krauss recently discussed his many scientific and social passions with writer Claudia Dreifus.
