My prediction is that sometime in the next 10 to 15 years, a theory of quantum gravity will be found that explains a lot more open questions than it creates.

This will be the start of the next big leap forward in physics.

Very good point made. Many say that closed system Newtonian has run its course and the new is in quantum.

Is there any information on what it might be? BTW, you said "theoretical"... Is there any indication it will not stay theoretical only?
Good questions, and Id really like to see how they accept something revolutionary. Despite all the changes in technology, people have a very complacent side and comfort zone.
