Lots still not understood! • How to calculate predictions for the hard questions in QCD? • What happens at nearby energies to allow the force couplings to unify at much higher energy? SUSY? • What causes the fermions to have the observed mass pattern? • What about neutrinos 19

Lots still not understood! • What gives the universe matter excess over antimatter? • What particles make up most of the (dark) mass of the universe? • Where did the “dark energy” come from? • What about gravity? 20
