Abstract
Grand unified theories, despite their obvious aesthetic appeal, leave few experimentally accessible remnants at present energies. It is important that each of these testable predictions of unified theories be reviewed periodically in light of recent advances in the measurement of low energy parameters pertinent to these predictions and advances in the calculational techniques necessary to extrapolate them to unification energies. Let us, therefore, take another look at one of the famous, although perhaps least understood, predictions of unified theories, the prediction of fermion masses and mass ratios.
