Blog 9: Working EQ and Possible Answers

(Well, it's late. Oh joy.)

My working EQ during the presentation was "What is the most important unsolved problem between quantum and relativistic physics?"

This is way, way, way too general. All the answers I've found could have essential questions of their own. Now, my topic is technically particle physics, so I'm narrowing down the scope of my EQ considerably, likely to just the Standard Model and just one problem. For instance, if I were to pick quantum gravity, I would have an EQ such as this-"What experiment could most likely uncover the graviton and how?" Or something. I don't know yet. I think it will likely be something about my science project.

So far, I've found quantum gravity, vacuum energy, and the lack of a GUT (Grand Unified Theory) or  a TOE (Theory of Everything) to be the best possible answers. So currently physics has no toes or guts. (Bad pun is bad.)
