TOWARDS THE FINAL LAWS OF PHYSICS

Steven Weinberg

I am very grateful to St John’s College and to the Cambridge Mathematics Faculty for inviting me here to speak in honour of Paul Dirac. I was much in awe of him when as a student I learned of his great achievements. Later I had the privilege of meeting Dirac a few times, and I still am very much in awe of him. It’s really quite a challenge to give a talk in honour of so great a man, and in planning it I felt that it would not be appropriate to speak about anything less than a great subject. I didn’t think it would be fitting to tell you about the latest wrinkle in elementary particle physics that we discovered last week. So, instead, I am going to jump over all details, and speak about what is for people working in my own area of physics the greatest question of all: ‘What are the final laws of physics?’
