> High energy physics is new symmetries, new particles, new experiment may be the sign for new "something", new string theory.
> Cosmology is new dark matter particle, new dark energy particle, new inflationary model/mechanism, universe is accelerating and we don't know why.
> Condensed matter is new state of matter, new effect at some high/low temperature, new material that currently cannot be mass producen but somewhere in the future will be and will change the economy and the way we live.
> Quantum physics is new quantum detector, new quanto-crypto messa process, new quantum-information-protocol.
> Quantum gravity be like: my theory is better than yours and I have no way to experimentally prove it.
> Theoretical physicists are like "I will write a popular physics book to let everyone know my theory is better than others"
> Physic student: what is the theory that better explains the universe
> Theoretical physicists: my model. There are standard models, which make excellent predictions, but they are flawed.
