Where are those extra dimensions in the string theory? Rob Knoops at TEDxAUBG

Rob Knoops was born in Belgium and has studied at the Belgium universities of Hasselt and Leuven. Now he works for CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research, where thousands of scientists from all over the world collaborate to answer some of nature's most fundamental questions. Knoops is a theoretical physicist fascinated by the strange ways nature behaves when you zoom in on very closely on it to the quantum level. He is part of theoretical physicists, whose main tools are chalk and blackboards to try to understand nature by using logic and mathematics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
