Public Lecture: The Frontiers of Fundamental Physics
In recent decades, physicists and astronomers have discovered two beautiful
Standard Models, one for the quantum world of extremely short distances, and one
for the universe as a whole. Both models have had spectacular success, but there are
also strong arguments for new physics beyond these models. In this lecture, we will
review these models, their successes and their shortfalls. We will describe how
experiments in the near future could point to new physics suggesting a profound
conceptual revolution, which could change our view of the world.
