Some of these problems have been solved (and thus the title is slightly incorrect) and I won't claim to be familiar with all current results. If you find that one of them has been solved (or even that some reasonable progress has been made), please e-mail me. ( How to contact me .) If I receive comments on these new problems, I will of course post those that seem suitable (and, at that point, I would presumably post the problem to which the comment refers). Note, however, the publisher does have a site for the text, http://blogs.springer.com/bondyandmurty/ , and it would seem reasonable that one should post comments there. Also, I'm not giving you all of the references in

Page devoted to the symmetry breaking, the mechanism that makes all mass.
http://www.jupiterscientific.org/sciinfo/fundmass.html
The Mechanism That Makes Fundamental Mass
In Particle Physics,
the Greatest Unsolved Problem
Is the Mechanism That Makes All Mass.
E verything in the world has mass, and since everything is made up of atoms of electrons, protons and neutrons, the mass of everything is due to the mass of these subatomic particles. A proton weighs about 2000 times the weight of an electron. A neutron is slightly heavier than a proton.
What Is the Standard Model?
During the last part of the 20th century, physicists have constructed a theory of subatomic particles and their interactions known as the Standard Model of particle physics. Three forces operate in this microscopic world: electromagnetism, which encompasses the electric and magnetic forces; the strong nuclear force, which holds the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, or heavy central core of an atom; and the weak subnuclear force, which causes some nuclei to decay in radioactive processes and helps to generate energy at the center of the Sun. The weak subnuclear force and electromagnetism have been unified into a single structure known as the electroweak theory. One of the great principles of particle physics
is that all forces are created through the exchange
of a special set of particles called gauge bosons.

    I always thought that the list in question was not particularly well written, even if you go with a charitable interpretation. dealt with several open questions in a very clear and informative matter.
    August 15, 2008 at 5:39 am David Chester says:
    Some of these 11 questions have already been properly answered and consequently are invalid as appearing on the list. However, even if the answers are known, the amount of public knowledge about these answers is minimal and so the question remains as apparently being significant. I think that the most serious question about which more publicity should be given is how in a technological expanding world, does poverty continue to exist? The answer is that there is a lack of opportunity to work caused by the way the land is owned and controlled and no matter how good our machines and computers get, we must also share our natural and man-made resources is a more just way. This can be achieved by taxation of land values, for wich the Henry George web-sites give a more detailed explanation.

    Problem A problem is an exercise whose solution is desired. Mathematical "problems" may therefore range from simple puzzles to examination and contest problems to propositions whose proofs require insightful analysis. Although not absolutely standard, The Greeks distinguished between "problems" (roughly, the construction of various figures) and " theorems " (establishing the properties of said figures; Heath 1956, pp. 252, 262, and 264). There are many unsolved problems in mathematics. Two famous problems which have recently been solved include Fermat's last theorem (by Andrew Wiles) and the Kepler conjecture (by T. C. Hales). Among the most prominent of remaining unsolved problems are the Goldbach conjecture Riemann hypothesis , the conjecture that there are an infinite number of twin primes , as well as many more. K.S. Brown, D. Eppstein, S. Finch, and C. Kimberling maintain extensive pages of unsolved problems in mathematics. SEE ALSO: Axiom Corollary Porism Lemma ... Unsolved Problems REFERENCES: Artino, R.

    The Goldbach Conjecture.
    Named after the number theorist Christian Goldbach (1690-1764). The problem: is it possible to write every even number greater than 2 as the sum of two primes? The conjecture says "yes", but nobody knows. You can explore the Goldbach conjecture interactively with the Prime Machine applet.

    Unsolved Problems of Science
    It is only a matter of time before the unsolvable becomes solved. Many scientist of ancient time thought the earth was flat with a huge water fall at the end, thus discouraged explorers from traveling the sea. Philosophers of the early time could not explain what why a person got sick let alone what the cause of it was. Thay only know of basic home remedies that could aliviate the symptoms and didn’t know why the remedy worked. Today, those problems are of the past and man have solved so many dificult scientific and philosophical concepts that plagued ancient scientists. With the solutions to old problems have brought on more dificult problems in the modern world and some day our children will solve the problems that we face today.

    TOP TEN UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN PHYSICS
  • Are all the (measurable) dimensionless parameters that characterize the physical universe calculable in principle or are some merely determined by historical or quantum mechanical accident and uncalculable? How can quantum gravity help explain the origin of the universe? Two of the great theories of modern physics are the standard model, which uses quantum mechanics to describe the subatomic particles and the forces they obey, and general relativity, the theory of gravity. Physicists have long hoped that merging the two into a "theory of everything" quantum gravity would yield a deeper understanding of the universe, including how it spontaneously popped into existence with the Big Bang. The leading candidate for this merger is superstring theory, or M theory, as the latest, souped-up version is called (with the M standing for "magic," "mystery," or "mother of all theories"). What is the lifetime of the proton and how do we understand it?

    Hilbert's Problems Hilbert's problems are a set of (originally) unsolved problems in mathematics proposed by Hilbert. Of the 23 total appearing in the printed address, ten were actually presented at the Second International Congress in Paris on August 8, 1900. In particular, the problems presented by Hilbert were 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 13, 16, 19, 21, and 22 (Derbyshire 2004, p. 377). Furthermore, the final list of 23 problems omitted one additional problem on proof theory (Thiele 2001). Hilbert's problems were designed to serve as examples for the kinds of problems whose solutions would lead to the furthering of disciplines in mathematics. As such, some were areas for investigation and therefore not strictly "problems." 1. "Cantor's problem of the cardinal number of the continuum." The question of if there is a transfinite number between that of a denumerable set and the numbers of the continuum continuum hypothesis to the effect that the answer depends on the particular version of set theory assumed. The question of if the

Ook rondde ik een individuele leertherapie van 5 jaar af die ik kreeg van de grondlegger van de Hypno- en Gestalttherapie in Nederland: Drs. Frank Smulders. Vanaf 1976 ontwikkelde ik verschillende therapievormen, en leidde ik onderzoek aan de Vrije Universiteit naar het effect van cognitieve gedragstherapie bij hyperventilatie. Ademhaling, ontspanning en biofeedback vormden belangrijke elementen in de begeleiding. Dit onderzoek mondde uit in een proefschrift over diagnose en behandeling van het Hyperventilatie Syndroom en ik behaalde mijn doctorstitel in de Psychologische- en Medische faculteit in 1986.

      General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology
      Title: Current Trends in Mathematical Cosmology
      Authors: Spiros Cotsakis (Submitted on 27 Jul 2001 ( ), last revised 28 Jul 2001 (this version, v2)) Abstract: We present an elementary account of mathematical cosmology through a series of important unsolved problems. We introduce the fundamental notion of `a cosmology' and focus on the issue of singularities as a theme unifying many current, seemingly unrelated trends of this subject. We discuss problems associated with the definition and asymptotic structure of the notion of cosmological solution and also problems related to the qualification of approximations and to the ranges of validity of given cosmologies.
