Abstract The topic of sliding friction has experienced a major burst of activity since 1987, much of which has developed quite independently and spontaneously. It is likely that the next few years will result in a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of sliding friction and also a general realization that many different physical phenomena, which in the past have been studied independently of each other in different disciplines, such as earthquake dynamics and the sliding of flux line systems, are closely related and perhaps should be studied together. Such a unification may not only lead to a cross fertilization of ideas, but also represents one of the goals of theoretical physics.
