anaesthetica's Journal: Physics Waiting for Standard Model's Successor

The New York Times questions whether science can or will move past the Standard Model. Physicists hope that the new CERN Large Hadron Collider will begin to reveal new aspects of the law of physics when it begins tests in 2007. Currently, the Standard Model remains unable to gracefully integrate many aspects of our universe, such as gravity, matter/anti-matter, or space-time. From the article:

So, yes, there is new physics out there. The question is whether it will ever be put it together into the neat mathematical package that would have impressed Einstein.
