I will describe, for non-specialists, the search for an understanding of superconductivity and superfluidity in conventional metals, neutron stars, and the high temperature cuprate superconductors.
I will describe the steps leading up to the microscopic theory of Bardeen, Cooper, and Schrieffer, give a progress report on pulsar superfluids, and summarize recent progress and prospects for understanding the high temperature superconductors.
