Ghislain Fourny is a senior scientist in the Department of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, Switzerland. He loves to learn and explain things, and strive to understand the universe better.

Convinced that Einstein was right all along about quantum theory not being a complete description of reality, he is spending a lot of his time on proving Einstein right, with a deterministic model that brings game theory into physics, and that turns quantum experiments into (put simply) a huge game played between experimenters and the universe that can be solved with novel, non-Nashian solution concepts that circumvent impossibility theorems (see published papers and preprints in the publication section).
