DESCRIPTION:Our most fundamental physical theories turn out to be the most
  tightly constrained. There are more mathematical restrictions on quantum 
 mechanics than on classical mechanics\, and many more restrictions on rela
 tivity than on non-relativistic dynamics. In this talk\, I will describe t
 his steady march towards a maximally constrained (hopefully unique) theory
  of everything\, and give an example of how to put this perspective into p
 ractice: namely the calculation of the classical gravitational waves emitt
 ed by two black holes merging (which turns out to be much easier if you fi
 rst quantise everything\, make use of how constrained quantum mechanics is
 \, and take the classical limit only at the very end).
