Amazing that so many phenomena that were expected to turn up at colliders, (if they were to turn up at all) eg Majorana fermions, magnetic monopoles, are being discovered in condensed matter systems.
Which makes some sense, I suppose. After all, spontaneous symmetry breaking, sometimes called the Higgs mechanism, was first observed in superconductors, and described by BCS.
