Small x Physics and Why It's Interesting

Abstract
I discuss small x physics and its implications at very high energies. At very high energy the density of partons becomes so large that much of the physics can be described using weak coupling methods in QCD. This may allow for a solution to problems such as the asymptotic nature of deep inelastic scattering at fixed momentum transfer, unitarization, and multiparticle production.
