(PRL 92 (2004) ) Wow... this is the most precisely tested theory ever conceived! 5
17 But there are still questions... parameters values: does our ultimate theory really need 25 arbitrary constants? Do they change with time? dark matter: SM physics makes up only 4% of the energy-matter of the universe! baryon asymmetry: why more matter than anti-matter? strong CP: do axions exist? Fine-tuning? neutrinos: Dirac or Majorana? Mass hierarchy? fermion generations: why three families? weak mixing: Is the CKM matrix unitary? parity violation: is parity maximally violated in the weak interaction? No right-handed currents? gravity: of course can t forget about a quantum description of gravity! 6
