The pictures and their description reflect my opinion about the current state of modern physics.
Space-Time Continuum
'The Persistence of Memory' by Salvadore Dali expresses the contemporary opinion that space and time form an entangled continuum.
Broken Symmetry
'The Magere Brug' in Amsterdam is a so-called bascule bridge. The 'broken symmetry' description is often used in physics to describe a state change from state exhibiting translational or rotational symmetry into another one where this symmetry is absent, but without actually describing the cause of such change.
Unification of Theories
'The Tower of Babel' (1563) by Pieter Breugel illustrates the multitude of interpretations of Quantum Mechanics, all describing quantum behavior in one or another way, but hardly ever actually agreeing with one another on its meaning.
Construction of Theories
Modern physics theories do not describe nature coherently. Often advanced mathematical structures are relied upon to model, but not really to explain, the cause of structure and behavior. This way of extremely formalized theoretical development does not appear to be converging toward true resolution of fundamental problems already posed at the start of the 20th century. Many of the current models might have to be abandoned when an over-arching theory becomes available.
Dark Energy
Star War's 'death star' provides a model for dark energy and the inability of modern cosmology to explain or detect the existence of this energy, which supposedly causes inflation of the universe.
Black Hole
The 'black hole' exemplifies a) the inability to explain its true nature (various ideas exist), and b) the massive amount of monetary and mental resources that is spent on creation of modern theories (like String theory), or c) to test theories (see e.g. the LHC at CERN), diverting resources away from exploring alternative theories or testing devices.
