Sergey et al.,
Thank you for the query.
I am in essential agreement on need for work in all five categories. In Wells 2006 NPA paper on METHODOLOGY IN PHYSICAL SCIENCE some suggestions maybe found.
A list of problems is indeed important, though rather overwhelming. The SCIENCE list of 125 for all fields of inquiry is rather measly in comparison to Kanarev's (http://kanarev.innoplaza.net/) over 200 on the nature of the photon alone.
Common data base also a good idea; also apt to be overwhelming.
Forming a united basis should be our prime directive --if this means work toward creating a consistent body of theory to replace the prevalent collection of faulty dogma.
"Forming Other Directions" could include means of effectively disseminating criticism of 'establishment' theory, and confronting its adherents. In this regard I have one very specific proposal: that students of physics, at the earliest possible stage of their scientific education, receive exposure to the quandaries and dilemmas, the problems and paradoxes, the contradictions and inconsistencies, in current dogma with which we are already so familiar --and that these students also become motivated to confront their instructors and institutions. This may have to be accomplished through some serious academic 'barnstorming' --an activity in which I personally may be engaged in the near future.
S.I. Wells
