TFNR - The main questions about Physical Reality
Among the infinite questions that fill the minds of physicists, some fundamental ones lie at the very heart of the quest for a comprehensive and profound understanding of the nature and dynamics of Reality. Every field of science has its pivotal questions. Not to diminish other areas of research, but I believe that shedding light on some fundamental aspects of the dynamics of Reality can illuminate all scientific endeavors. Here are some questions that I consider "very, very, very important": Some "what?", some "why?", some "how?" ...
First of all, what is the nature of Reality and the Universe themselves? What is Reality? What exists? How is Reality forming? What is the Universe? What is the Universe made of? Why does something exist rather than nothing?
Next, what is truly fundamental? What are Forces and Fields? What is Space and Time? What are Events, Action, and Energy?
What are Information and Evolution in the physical domain of Reality?
Additionally, in the fields closest to our scientific experience, what are Mass, Motion, Charge, and Spin? What is the true nature of Waves and Particles and their mutual relationships that paint the Reality with weirdness? What is the strange and puzzling relationship between continuity and granularity?
What is Matter, both Dark and Ordinary? And cosmic expansion and Dark Energy?
And beyond these questions, we venture further... to the farthest frontiers of Knowledge...
