the guardian

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN revealed the Higgs boson in 2012, but has led to no comparable discovery since. It is worth asking what we hope to learn from the new data coming soon – and indeed from any particle physics experiment in the near future Read the full story

Powerful though it is, the Standard Model is no 'Theory of Everything'. It does not incorporate gravity, it does not contain an explanation for the preponderence of matter over antimatter that we see around us, and it does not contain a convincing candidate for the 'Dark Matter' needed to explain the rotational speeds of stars in galaxies and other astrophysical observations. And it has nothing much to say about the 'Dark Energy' to which we ascribe the accelerating expansion of the universe
