David Gross: "After a certain point in the early ’90s, people gave up on trying to connect to the real world," Gross said. "The last 20 years have really been a great extension of theoretical tools, but very little progress on understanding what’s actually out there."

Robbert Dijkgraaf: "But now we have this big mess." "Things have gotten almost postmodern."

Nima Arkani-Hamed: "Every aspect of the idea that we understood quantum field theory turns out to be wrong."
