Autore: Gerard t Hooft

Gerard “t Hooft, Nobel Prize in Physics 1999, has contributed to major developments in fundamental theoretical physics in the last forty years. He is known, among many things, for his research on quantum chromodynamics, for the introduction of the holographic principle in quantum gravity. And, not least, for his controversial deterministic interpretation of quantum mechanics. Emanuele Severino, Academician of Lincei, is one of the foremost theoretical philosophers of our time. His interpretation of Becoming, which seems to challenge common sense, leads to a surprising vision of the world and of history. He is well known to the general public in Italy, both for his philosophical essays and for his interventions on the central themes of contemporary life. Piero Coda, philosopher and theologian, was Prelate Secretary of the Pontifical Academy of Theology, and Professor of the Pontifical Lateran University. In 2014 he was nominated by Pope Francis as a memberof the International Theological Commission. Currently he is Dean of the Sophia University Institute of Incisa Val d”Arno (Firenze). Fabio Scardigli is a theoretical physicist affiliated with the Mathematics Department at the Polytechnic University of Milan and the Institute Lorentz for Theoretical Physics at Leiden University. His research focuses on the (quantum) physics of black holes and on the generalized uncertainty principle.
