The Advantages of the Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron collider has collided about 40 quatrillion pairs of protons so not a small amount of data they've accumulated. Over the course of this time, they've produced something like 8 million Higgs bosons distributed across 300 petabytes of data. It's not like this machine has just started or something, but still they haven't seen any squorks and gluinos. So what are we supposed to think about this? When I wrote that book on supersymmetry, Nature's Blueprint back in 2008, I thought there was about a 50-50 chance that supersymmetry actually exists in nature. And I said, if it does, the Large Hadron
