A Long View of Particle Physics

Frank Wilczek

Published 2012-04-20, updated 2012-06-29Version 2

2011 marked the hundredth anniversary both of the famous Solvay conferences, and of the Geiger-Marsden experiment that launched the modern understanding of subatomic structure. I was asked to survey the status and prospects of particle physics for the anniversary Solvay conference, with appropriate perspective. This is my attempt.

Comments: 8 pages, no figures. Rapporteur talk at the 25$^{th}$ Solvay Conference on Physics, "Theory of the Quantum World", October 2011. To be published in the Proceedings. v2: Two trivial typos corrected
