String theory landscape of vacua point to new consistency conditions that a quantum gravitational system must satisfy. There are only a small number of quantum field theories that satisfy these conditions and all the rest belong to the "Swampland" which cannot be consistently coupled to gravity.
In this talk I review some of these conditions and their implications for cosmology and particle physics.
