Maldacena

Juan Maldacena is a theoretical physicist known for his groundbreaking idea called the AdS/CFT correspondence. This concept suggests a deep connection between gravity in a curved, higher-dimensional space (Anti-de Sitter space) and a quantum field theory without gravity on its boundary. Essentially, it provides a way to understand how gravity and quantum physics relate, offering insights into black holes, quantum gravity, and the nature of space-time. Check it as a "bridge" between two different ways of describing the universe, helping scientists explore fundamental questions about the fabric of reality.
