It is now almost a century since the year 1905, in which the principle of relativity and the hypothesis of the quantum of radiation were introduced. It has taken most of that time to synthesize the two into the modern quantum theory of fields and the standard model of particle phenomena. Although there is undoubtably more to be learned both theoretically and experimentally, it seems likely that we know most of the basic principles which follow from combining the special theory of relativity with quantum mechanics.It is unlikely that a major revolution will spring from this soil.
