Abstract
The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 answered some of the most important questions in fundamental physics, and experimentally established the so-called "Standard Model" of elementary particle physics. This theory successfully describes all interactions of elementary particles that we can observe in the laboratory and in the world around us, and it can be consistently extrapolated to energy scales far above what we are able to probe experimentally. However, the experimental successes of the Standard Model are difficult to explain without abandoning some of the basic principles that have guided physics from its beginnings. This talk will explain these puzzles, and why they lead us to several very different competing ideas about the nature of our Universe. These ideas can be tested experimentally in current and future elementary particle colliders, holding out the promise that future generations can discover new fundamental physical laws and principles.
