We celebrate Kenan Professor Yee Jack Ng, who has had a very influential and successful research career as a theoretical physicist. His works span particle physics from fundamental theory to phenomenology, gravity from space time foam to black holes to cosmology and more. There is far too much to cover in a single lecture, but we can give a nice representative example. We will follow one extended thread in the tapestry of Jack’s research that takes us from space-time foam to Holographic Foam Cosmology.
