Gerardus ’t Hooft citáty

Gerardus ’t Hooft je holandský teoretický fyzik a profesor na Utrechtskej univerzite.

V roku 1999 dostal spolu s Martinusom Veltmanom Nobelovu cenu za fyziku za objasnenie kvantovej štruktúry elektroslabých interakcií. Okrem Nobelovej ceny je držiteľom Wolfovej ceny za fyziku a Lorentzovej medaily . Je po ňom pomenovaný asteroid 9491 Thooft. Wikipedia

Gerardus ’t Hooft: Citáty v angličtine

“The usual no-go theorems telling us that hidden variables are irreconcilable with locality, appear to start with fairly conventional pictures of particle systems, detectors, space and time.”

Obstacles on the Way toward the Quantization of Space, Time and Matter — and possible resolutions — http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/gthpub/foundations.pdf
Kontext: The usual no-go theorems telling us that hidden variables are irreconcilable with locality, appear to start with fairly conventional pictures of particle systems, detectors, space and time. Usually, it is taken for granted that events at one place in the universe can be described independently from what happens elsewhere. Perhaps one has to search for descriptions where the situation is more complex. Maybe, it needs not be half as complex as superstring theory itself. The conventional Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics suffices to answer all practical questions concerning conventional experiments with quantum mechanics, and the outcome of experiments such as that of Aspect et al can be precisely predicted by conventional quantum mechanics. This is used by some to state that no additional interpretation prescriptions for quantum mechanics are necessary. Yet we insist that the axioms for any "complete" quantum theory for the entire cosmos would present us with as yet unresolved paradoxes.

“Quantum mechanics as it stands would be perfect if we didn't have the quantum-gravity issue and a few other very deep fundamental problems.”

“If you really want to contribute to our theoretical understanding of physical laws — and it is an exciting experience if you succeed!”

there are many things you need to know. First of all, be serious about it!
