This text examines developments that are leading to a paradigm shift and a new horizon for physics, at a time when the underlying principle of reductionism is being questioned. Presenting the new paradigm in fuzzy space–time, it is based on some 100 published journal papers and two recent books. This work has predicted correctly epoch-turning observations, for example, that the universe is accelerating with a small cosmological constant driven by dark energy – when the prevalent line of thinking was the exact opposite. Regarding a unified description of gravitation and electromagnetism via fluctuations, several other highlighted features presented are in complete agreement with experiments.
