The Limits of the Large Hadron Collider

The LHC is big and it's powerful, but it doesn't have infinite energy. The more energy you have in your collider, the more you have access to like nature's hidden menu of particles. Every time we do these kinds of explorations, there could be huge surprises waiting for us or sort of nothing. That's a very delicate political question as we seek approval for running the large Hadron Collider for another 15 years.
