Lost in Math
I am not a physicist, but I think while trying to complete our understanding of matter and forces is certainly an important topic, it would be much more important to finally understand quantum mechanics. Not that those are independent topics but I don&#x27;t think progress on quantum mechanics is dependent on progress in high energy particle physics. Maybe energy scales at which gravity becomes strong might be really interesting to understand how space and time and particles fit together, but those are out of reach for the foreseeable future.
