Abstract
The energy scale at which the Large Hadron Collider experiment (LHC) operates is determined by the need to complete the standard model of particle interactions. In particular LHC is set to unveil the origin of mass of any known elementary particle, i.e. the Higgs mechanism. Together with classical general relativity the standard model constitutes one of the most successful models of nature. We shall, however, argue that experimental results and theoretical arguments call for a more fundamental description of nature. Technicolor offers a physical mechanism underlying the Higgs sector of the standard model. We will review strengths and weaknesses of technicolor calling for novel type of strong dynamics.
