Unitarity in the Brout-Englert-Higgs Mechanism for Gravity
Gerard 't Hooft
Just like the vector bosons in Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories, gravitons can attain mass by spontaneous local symmetry breaking. The question is whether this can happen in…
The Grand View of Physics
Gerard 't Hooft
Abdus Salam was known for his `grand views', grand views of science as well as grand views of society. In this talk the grand view of theoretical physics is put in perspective.
Emergent Quantum Mechanics and Emergent Symmetries
Gerard 't Hooft
Quantum mechanics is 'emergent' if a statistical treatment of large scale phenomena in a locally deterministic theory requires the use of quantum operators. These quantum operators…
The Free-Will Postulate in Quantum Mechanics
Gerard 't Hooft
The so-called "free will axiom" is an essential ingredient in many discussions concerning hidden variables in quantum mechanics. In this paper we argue that "free will" can be defi…
