This talk will explore the role of chaos in nature, highlighting how even well-understood rules can make predicting the future challenging—weather forecasting being a prime example. The speaker will discuss recent discoveries showing that chaos is central to the behavior of black holes, some of the most mysterious objects in the universe. These developments provide fresh insights into the ongoing effort to unify quantum mechanics with the theory of gravity.

Join us for the inaugural ذخر (Dhikhr) Award presentation, inspired by the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, who said, "The book is the vessel of knowledge, civilization, culture, learning, literature, and the arts. Nations are not measured by their material wealth alone, but by their civilizational authenticity." The word Dhikhr means "valuable asset" in Arabic, symbolizing this award's purpose: to honor those who have enriched the UAE's heritage. This year, we recognize the late David Heard and Frauke Heard-Bey for their invaluable contributions. The ceremony will feature a brief talk on their legacy, followed by the award presentation.
