Discreteness and determinism in superstring theory
Discreteness and determinism in superstring theory Superstring Theory is mathematically equivalent to a completely deterministic automaton,yet the world it describes appears to be quantum mechanical. In his seminar, Gerardus 't Hooft (Utrecht University) discussed how can we reconcile these apparently conflicting observations, and invited us to think "What would John Bell have to say about
