Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? Paul Gauguin (1897) Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
What is the Standard Model? The Standard Model (SM) is a quantum field theory that describes the excitationsof quantum fields in spacetime We interpret these excitations as particles

Puzzles The Identity Puzzle What makes a top quark a top quark, an electron an electron, and a neutrino a neutrino? (Chris Quigg, 2007) The Mass Puzzle What is the origin of the mass of fundamental particles? The Matter Puzzle Why is there overwhelmingly more matter than antimatter?
Puzzles The Just-So Puzzle What determines the values of the Standard Model parameters? Or, are we special? The Gravity Puzzle Why strong: em: weak: gravity = 1: 10-2: 10-5: 10-39? The Dark Matter Puzzle What is dark matter? The Dark Energy Puzzle Why is dark energy?

The Gravity Puzzle 10-39
Gravity on the Brane Our 3-D brane Isaac Newton(1687) Gauss’ Law
Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions Our 3-D brane Arkani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali (1998) Gauss’ Law
Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions Suppose that gravity can propagate a distance R away from our 3-D brane world R
Gravity in 3 + n Dimensions When r >> R, the gravity force should look like Newton’s law of gravity R This yields the relation G = Gn / Rn
