We need another particle accelerator. Don’t let these five myths fool you
The way to understand the earliest moments of creation is to recreate those conditions and study them. Why would we stop now?
Perhaps you've heard: the Large Hadron Collider at CERN found the Higgs boson a decade ago, completing the so-called "particle zoo" that makes up the Standard Model. Despite the promise of ideas like string theory and supersymmetry, no new, unexpected particles turned up at the Large Hadron Collider, including those related to dark matter, extra dimensions, or other exotic physics. This has been sold, alternately, as a "failure," a "defeat," or "the end of particle physics." It's none of those, and you shouldn't believe any such assertion without knowing what's really going on.
