Understanding the basic components of the Universe, its structure, and evolution is one of the noblest and most ambitious undertakings of humanity. The fundamental laws of nature are the basis of all technology. Finding and understanding them requires exploring both the elementary components of matter at the smallest scales and the observable Universe at the largest scales. Only through understanding the laws that dictated the first instances of the Universe will we be able to find the ultimate reason for its actual appearance and future fate. Challenges in physics are intimately associated with technological challenges for the design and building of telescopes, space missions or accelerators, reactor and underground experiments, as well as developments in mathematics. Their resolution requires a worldwide, transdisciplinary effort and the orchestrated involvement of researchers, engineers, and technicians. The challenges described here are fully aligned with the priorities identified in international and European strategies.
