Abstract

As the most recently discovered and heaviest quark, the top presents us with theoretical challenges. How are we to understand its properties within the larger effort to explain the origins of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking ? This talk discusses some of the surprises the top quark may have in store for us and indicates how experiment may help us pinpoint the truth about top.
