Dr Gerardus ‘t Hooft. If you think the future is a mystery, Gerardus ‘t Hooft will make you think again. With a solid foothold in realism and an extraordinary insight into scientific and technological developments, Nobel laureate Professor Gerard ‘t Hooft will separate fact from fiction and show us what our future might really hold, from robots with a sense of irony, space elevators to floating cities. Gerardus ‘t Hooft is a theoretical physicist at Utrecht University, who was awarded the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physics together with Martinus J. G. Veltman “for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions”. Asteroid 9491 Thooft is named in his honor and he has written a constitution for its future inhabitants!
