The particle physics community is 'shell shocked' by the LHC's failure to discover new physics, with no consensus on how to proceed, though there are three primary responses: (1) patience—new physics will be discovered next year or the year after; (2) build a bigger machine; or (3) return to first principles and challenge theoretical assumptions made over the past 30 years.
