Progress in quantum theory may make it more understandable and useful : a better understanding of foundational issues in physics may support developments in nanotechnology, quantum computing, superconducting materials and many other fields.
Experimental physicists may finally converge on a single underlying theory that describes all the fundamental workings of the universe, from subatomic particles ruled by quantum mechanics to the gravitational forces so elegantly explained by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Progress is likely to be made in understanding the dominance of dark matter and dark energy in our universe.
