Abstract
In this brief survey I am going to borrow some ideas from a lengthy review prepared in collaboration with Murray Gell‐Mann and Arthur Rosenfeld for publication elsewhere.* In the title of our article we have used the term “particle” but have carefully avoided the adjective “elementary”. Had the title of my paper here today been of my choosing, I should similarly have avoided such a modifier, because if there is a discernible trend in current high‐energy physics it is the decline of the elementary particle concept. A major purpose of my report to you is to describe this decline of an ancient idea and the beginnings of a new idea that may fill the void.Keywords
