At this point in time I see no problem in theoretical physics in
2007, including both dark energy and dark matter, that cannot be
solved satisfactorily in terms of the two great already battle-tested
organizing ideas:

1. The gauge principle, i.e. Einstein's relativity principle
expressed in its deepest form.

2. "More is different" (PW Anderson) emergence of new orders i.e.
effective low/high energy theories including renormalization group
flows to fixed points, ODLRO, "hidden symmetry", Goldstone-Higgs
mechanism, spontaneous ground state symmetry breakdown leaving action
invariant.

If anyone has a counter example - let's see it.

String theory and loop quantum gravity are over-mathematized clearly
failed programs. The only surviving parts are already in 1 & 2 above.
