From Wikipedia:
Gerardus (Gerard) 't Hooft is a Dutch theoretical physicist and professor at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. He shared the 1999 Nobel Prize in Physics with his thesis advisor Martinus J. G. Veltman "for elucidating the quantum structure of electroweak interactions".His work concentrates on gauge theory, black holes, quantum gravity and fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics. His contributions to physics include a proof that gauge theories are renormalizable, dimensional regularization, and the holographic principle.
 
Perhaps he is here to study all the black holes that will be demonstrating on Friday. In search of substance in emptiness.

I thought this was just funny at first.....Then I realised it's even funnier than I thought

That's quite clever, well thought out, mind he will be the busiest he's ever been,
 
The equivalent of a black hole in a person is a party pooper, a guy who sucks the life and light out of everyting around him. Thankfully I haven't met many of those.
