Abstract
There are three open questions in physics which seem unrelated: Why is there only matter around us? How neutrinos acquire their tiny masses? Why all particles in Nature have integer electric charges? It turns out that these open questions are related. In the talk I
will explain these open questions, the connection between them, and describe the on-going theoretical and experimental efforts in understanding them.
