Answer
The AdS/CFT correspondence, proposed in 1997 by Juan Maldacena, suggests a profound connection between certain theories of gravity in higher-dimensional spaces known as Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and conformal field theories (CFTs) existing in one lower dimension. This correspondence has revolutionized our understanding of quantum gravity and has led to numerous breakthroughs in theoretical physics.
