His talk once again reiterated the originality of vision which has been the hallmark of every piece of work which Gerardus has done in his illustrious career. After describing several peculiar aspects of gravitation and blackhole physics, he went on to point out how progress in bringing together the principles of quantum theory and gravity would require a novel way of thinking. During the last part of the talk, he outlined some aspects of such a model, in which quantum mechanics becomes deterministic at Planck scales. Th is is a radical departure from the conventional thinking in which quantum mechanics is interpreted along probabilistic lines. Welcome to...
