Gerard 't Hooft

Gerard 't Hooft, a Nobel laureate and theoretical physicist known for his work on the electroweak interaction, challenges traditional views of quantum mechanics. He argues that the universe operates like a deterministic cosmic pinball machine with no real randomness or superposition. Discussing hidden variables and cellular automata, he proposes a radical new framework for understanding reality and defies norms in physics. Delving into concepts like superdeterminism and the mysteries of black holes, 't Hooft offers thought-provoking insights into the nature of existence.
