The magic nine questions

I came across this at Sciencedaily.com

Conceived to make the science as accessible as possible, the Quantum Universe report focuses on nine fundamental questions (see sidebar) in response to a request by two major research funding agencies, the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation.””

The Nine Questions
I. Einstein's dream of unified forces
1. Are there undiscovered principles of nature: new symmetries, new physical laws?
2. How can we solve the mystery of dark energy?
..
3. Are there extra dimensions of space?
4. Do all forces become one?
.
II. The particle world
5. Why are there so many kinds of particles?
.
6. What is dark matter? How can we make it in the laboratory?
.
7. What are neutrinos telling us?
8. How did the universe come to be?
.
9. What happened to the antimatter?


I have posted my answers elsewhere . Anyone prepared to stick their neck out and provide a view, get them all correct (with proof) and its a Noble Peace Prize for sure .
You dont need to know what you are talking about to have a go at one or two but if you are brave answer the lot .
