Are we facing the end of science: reflections on the conference?

S. D. Bosanac

The prevailing view today is that the only fundamental problem that needs solution, to have the complete picture of Nature, is to incorporate gravity into the unified  theory of fields. This suggests that the end of science is nearing, at least in its fundamental aspect. This view will be challenged in the talk, and the basis will be results that were presented at the conference. It will be argued that despite great strides of science there are a number of very basic fundamental questions that need solution. Are the  challenges to answer them indication that something is missing in the formulation of modern physics? And if so is science only at its beginning?
