Best wishes for 2017 (with two lists : tasks to do and tasks already done ;-)

Et les particules élémentaires  tissèrent l'espace et la lumière 1,

    Rather than relying on a breakthrough discovery in high energy physics in 2017 which is really difficult to envision, I am quite convinced that with what we know of the complete standard model of particle physics and what we don't know from the dark energy and dark matter phenomenological parametrisation in the cosmological concordance model there are dramatic improvement possible : in model building for grand unification of gauge coupling constants at and beyond the zeptometer and also in inflation, baryogenesis and seesaw mechanisms on the zetta-eV side.

I think with the last progress in the spectral noncommutative geometric modelisation of spacetime, fundamental fermionic matter and bosonic gauge and scalar interaction mediators, theoretical physicists could build a pretty consistent view of the dreamed micro-macro connection epitomised by the famous Glashow snake. Another task for bold and gifted experimenters will be to imagine and then design the proper tools to probe the realm of some potential new quanta of spacetime waiting for us to be uncovered.
Best wishes for 2017 to them, to the readers of this blog and to all others!
