Um, and so this is the second answer that I hope that we find is I hope that we find just an entire new sector of physics. You know, it could be super symmetry. It could be all the super partners. It could be that dark matter is an entire sector and not just a single particle that accounts for everything.

Um, I hope there's some new group of particles and I hope they're strongly interacting because I just think that that would be super fun to work on for the next 50 years. So in terms of what, What I think is out there, but I have no idea, truly.

I think definitely things will have to show up between the energies that we can see and the Planck scale, which is that magic number that should set the Higgs mass. Something has to be out there. I just fundamentally can't reconcile a world where there's just 16 orders of magnitude that are empty, you know? And I don't think that this is an accident.

I don't think the universe is this way because, you know, some supreme power fine-tuned some numbers and look where we are. I think there has to be some deeper explanation. So whether or not this stuff shows up at sort of the TEV to 10 TEV range, there are some predictions for that. Supersymmetry could be hiding in this range. Yeah.

there could be evidence that the Higgs boson is also a composite particle that could pop up at this energy. And really sort of the first real hint that we could see of new physics that would affect the electroweak sector is really 4 pi times the vev. So that sits right around a couple TeV, around 3 TeV. Is that a guarantee? Absolutely not. But it's a way to start. So Yeah, I don't know.

I just want to see something that messes with the Higgs. That's what I want to see. And whatever it is, who knows? But I think something's got to be out there.

Yeah, I mean, I think I got into particle physics at a very weird time. So I am finishing my first postdoc, which means that I've been in the field for about 10 years. And in that time, I have seen the Higgs boson discovered and supersymmetry not discovered. I have seen the Tevatron shut off and the LHC turn on and the plans for the Hailumi LHC to go on.

And now, you know, I think people have tried to convince me throughout this entire career that I've had that particle physics is dead. We don't know what we're doing. Give up and do cosmology or biology, as you suggested earlier. And I just think that can't be further from the truth because.

What amazing privilege I have as a young person in this field is that I get to be part of the conversation of how we unstick ourselves, right? Is how we decide what the next generation of experiments gets to be. And we get to shape this idea of, well, how do we look for new physics?

And, you know, to have my whole career, well, most of my career in front of me as we go through this era of absolute, you know, change and really first order changes and how we're going to approach particle physics. I think it's an exciting time to be a particle physicist.
