*The 20th century was, arguably, the century of physics. * While there was
immense progress on so-called "fundamental physics" — the basic laws
governing matter, space, and time — fundamental physics has slowed to a
crawl since 1980, despite an immense amount of work. But, as John Baez will
explain in this SFI Community Lecture, there is exciting progress in other
branches of physics: for example, using the fundamental physics we have to
design surprising new forms of matter. But, like all other sciences in the
21st century, physics must also embrace the challenges of the Anthropocene:
the era in which humanity is a dominant influence on the Earth's climate
and biosphere.

John Baez <https://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/> is an American mathematical
physicist and a professor of mathematics at the University of California,
Riverside (UCR). He has worked on spin foams in loop quantum gravity,
applications of highest categories to physics, and applied category theory.

Baez also authored *This Week’s Finds in Mathematical Physics,* an
irregular column on the internet featuring mathematical exposition and
criticism. He started *This Week’s Finds* for the Usenet community, and it
now has a following in its new form, the blog “Azimuth.” *This Week’s
Finds* anticipated
the concept of a personal weblog. Additionally, Baez is known on the World
Wide Web as the author of the “crackpot index.”
