- 2. The View in 2007 Many particle physicists look upon the past 15 years as an era of consolidation, rather than ferment. Yet even as the Standard Model gains ever more comprehensive experimental support, experiment and observation have yielded a growing list of phenomena that lie outside its purview¡. Taken together, the notable accomplishments in theory and experiment point to a very lively decade ahead. Perhaps we will look back to see that revolution has been brewing all along. ¡ªChris Quigg (Fermilab) in Sci Am Nov 07

Editor's Notes
- #20: We don¡¯t even use the terms ¡°dark matter¡± and ¡°dark energy¡± anymore. They reflected the ignorance of the time. Why is electromagnetism different from the weak nuclear force? (Higgs) Why are there quarks and leptons? Fermions and bosons?
