What will be the things that we focus on doing with it? How much will researchers get control over to be able to ask different sorts of questions? I mean, you know, while it was starting out, people were doing these kind of toy problems, but what will it actually be applied to and what will it be optimized to do? There's a lot of questions out there that it's really important we start addressing.

So is it what's the most beautiful unsolved problem or what is the most beautiful unsolved problem I think we can make progress on?

Most of the questions, the big questions, have to do with what underlies things, how things started, what's at the base of it. There's also just basic questions that you asked earlier. How far will science take us? How much can we understand? There are questions like, how we got here? What underlies it? But also, there's really deep questions like, what fraction are we actually seeing?

If there are these other forces, if there is another way of seeing the world, are there universes beyond our own? If they're so totally different, how do we even comprehend them? What would we even think about them? There's a lot about trying to get beyond.

It's always just getting beyond our limited vision and limited experience and trying to see what underlies it, both at small scales and at large scales. We just don't know the answers. I mean, I'd like to think that we understand more about dark matter, about dark energy, about are there extra dimensions, things that we actually work on.

Because there's probably a lot beyond what we work on that's yet to be discovered.

Totally. I mean, if it is how the universe went from higher dimensions to what we see, are the extra dimensions present everywhere? I mean, one of the really interesting pieces of physics we did that I talk about in my first book, War Passages, is finding out that there can be a higher dimension, but only locally do you think there's a gravity of a lower dimension.
