Physics World at 25

To mark the 25th anniversary of its existence, the science journal Physics World has dedicated a special issue (No. 10, October 2013) to a look back to some of the highlights in physics in the past quarter century and also to a look ahead to the future of the subject

"Can we unify quantum mechanics and gravity?" In a section on the five biggest unanswered questions in physics, Nordita assistant professor Sabine Hossenfelder describes how physicists are working to unite these two perspectives in a theory of quantum gravity. Sabine remains optimistic that this can be done, but emphasizes the necessity of making connection to experiment, not only because that would be helpful, but is is also necessary for any prospective theory of quantum gravity to be scientific.
