The Back Of The Class

Open Questions - A place for everyone to explore on the frontiers of science. This site has been designed to organize scientific information, both on and off the Web, around a number of fundamental "open questions" - the questions that motivate leading edge basic scientific research. By exploring the pages here you can gain an understanding of many of the questions that still represent major mysteries even to top scientists. You'll find that you need not be concerned if you don't immediately recognize all the terminology of any particular field. Many of the resources collected here contain tutorial presentations which provide needed background. We've added a good deal of commentary of our own to get you started and point out the basic landmarks.
