Quantum Theory and Relativity, Dedicated to George Mackey, to appear. This review focuses on the questions: Does physics suggest a way to combine quantum theory, relativity, and interaction? To what extent can one formulate such quantum physics as mathematics? What is the present status of quantum field theory? What new mathematics emerges? What new insight does one apparently require to make further progress?
