Despite its many successes, modern physics is confronting a series of enduring problems which have defied all attempts at resolution. While the mathematical framework of Quantum Mechanics has passed every experimental test for more than eight decades, there exists no consistent physical or philosophical picture elucidating why it works or what it means.
