Like most subatomic theorists my broad objective is to understand the fundamental laws of nature. At present we have a very successful theory, the Standard Model with General Relativity, that until recently described all experiments that had been done. The three recent exceptions are terrestrial and astrophysical evidence for neutrino oscillations, together with cosmological observations revealing the existence of primordial density fluctuations as well as two unknown sources of gravitation: the so-called dark matter and dark energy. These show that the Standard Model fails; subatomic theorists seek its replacement.

像大多数亚原子理论家一样，我的广泛目标是理解自然的基本规律。目前我们有一个非常成功的理论，广义相对论的标准模型，直到最近才描述了所有已经做过的实验。最近的三个例外是中微子振荡的地球和天体物理证据，以及宇宙学观察揭示了原始密度涨落的存在以及两个未知的引力来源：所谓的暗物质和暗能量。这些都表明，标准模型是失败的；亚原子理论家们正在寻找它的替代品。
