Physics in 100 Years

Abstract

Here I indulge in wide-ranging speculations on the shape of physics, and technology closely related to physics, over the next one hundred years. Themes include the many faces of unification, the re-imagining of quantum theory, and new forms of engineering on small, intermediate, and large scales.

25 pages, 4 figures; based on presentation for 250 Anniversary celebration at Brown University
