The Higgs boson discovery at the Large
Hadron Collider (LHC) revealed a type of particle never seen before, but there
are good reasons to suppose that it is not the only of its kind. The LHC has
the power to find the Higgs heavier cousins, and to help us understand the
Higgs boson’s true nature: Is it an elementary particle hinting towards a new
fermion-boson symmetry or is it composite in a more sophisticated world with
new strong forces that act as a portal to extra dimensions of space? The LHC
could prove to be a factory for the dark matter that makes up to 85% of all the
matter in the universe, and show us how the Higgs boson/s interact with dark
matter. Even more challenging, LHC data could hint whether the Higgs play a
fundamental role in creating the imbalance between matter and antimatter that
triggered our existence. I will discuss the role of particle
physics in providing answers for these tantalizing mysteries of
nature.
