February 25, 2006: Extra Dimensions & Global Warming - Lisa Randall | Global Warming - Noam Mohr
Podcast: The Art Bell ArchivePublished On: Mon Dec 22 2025
Description: Art Bell welcomes physicist Noam Mohr and Harvard professor Lisa Randall for a double-header exploring two of science's biggest frontiers. Mohr presents a compelling case that animal agriculture, not just fossil fuels, is the primary driver of near-term global warming through massive methane emissions. He argues that dietary changes could have a more immediate cooling effect than switching to hybrid cars, citing research from the University of Chicago.Randall discusses her work on extra dimensions of space, explaining how the weakness of gravity relative to other forces may point to hidden dimensions beyond our perception. She describes membrane-like objects called branes in higher-dimensional space and explains how entirely different physics could govern other regions of reality. The upcoming Large Hadron Collider, she notes, may provide the first experimental evidence.Both guests weigh in on the accelerating pace of climate change, with Randall describing Al Gore's presentation on ice core data as deeply convincing. Art presses each on the urgency of action, drawing connections between energy policy, scientific suppression, and the long-term survival of civilization.
