| The 2012 discovery of the Higgs Boson completed the “Standard Model” of particle physics. But where does particle physics go from there? In this talk, I will discuss the history and future of particle physics, focusing on China’s plans to build an accelerator, the so-called “Great Collider,” that could supersede the Large Hadron Collider as the biggest and most complicated machine ever built—and one capable of opening new frontiers in science.
