On July 4, 2012, the champagne was flowing. The elusive Higgs boson, the fundamental particle that gives all other particles their mass, had been discovered. After generations of work, the final piece of the puzzle was in place, and the Standard Model of particle physics was complete. So what’s next? What’s the road map that will guide physicists to the next triumphs, from identifying dark matter to quantifying gravity and perhaps shedding light on the most profound question of all: Why is there something rather than nothing? What theories will light the way? What machines will we need to build to connect progress to reality? Join a group of leading physicists to discover how we can leap forward from success.
