[Q] What do you see as the major issues, major problems that we are facing now and in the near future?

You mean in fundamental physics?

[Q] In... in… let's talk about fundamental physics we've talked about—but in science in general. I mean can one see… you've talked about simplicity, complexity, but are there specific problems?

Oh, there are many, many other things. Many of them concerned with building these bridges, bridge between neurobiology and psychology is very important. People have got some conjectures now about the binding problem, because human beings and other organisms see different facets of reality… perceive different facets of reality with different parts of the brain and yet they build up this notion of an object, even though there's a… a whole mechanism for appreciating color, another mechanism for appreciating motion, another mechanism for appreciating shape, and so on, still they… all these things are bound together to make the impression of an object, and they have some ideas now on how that might be done through common rhythm. I don't know if those ideas will turn out to be right, but they're an example of a very interesting problem, certainly. Well there are many such examples in many different fields, these problems of building these staircases.
