Sabrina Pasterski, who started building her own aircraft as a young teen, now studies quantum gravity and black holes at Canada's Perimeter Institute.
She leads the institute's Celestial Holography Initiative, an $8 million project funded by the Simons Foundation. It asks whether the universe's information could be described with fewer dimensions, a bit like a hologram.
The wider aim is a single theory that unites gravity and quantum physics, which scientists still don't have.
