Title: The “Who Ordered That” Collider

Abstract: In this talk, I’ll survey some of the major open questions in particle physics and make the case that they can best be addressed by a qualitatively new type of particle accelerator: a high-energy muon collider.  Recent progress on long-standing accelerator and detector challenges make such a collider a compelling successor to the LHC.
