Particle colliders are the modern microscope allowing us to probe nature at its most fundamental level. However, they are also some of the largest and most complex scientific experiments humans can perform. In this talk I will discuss the physics case for why a collider that can probe at least an order of magnitude beyond the Large Hadron Collider, the largest ever built so far, is needed. To reach this scale requires either an experiment of unprecedented scale or a radically new technology. I will explain how there is a new technology potentially within reach, a muon collider, and what it could enable. This was described by the recent US particle physics project prioritization process, P5, and the NY Times lede as “our muon shot”.
