I will explore the possibility that the top quark is a composite  
object, produced by the confinement of some new force.  The top  
quark, as the most recently discovered ingredient in the standard  
model, is the area in which compositeness is the most weakly  
bounded, and thus the top is the most natural laboratory to explore  
compositeness of a standard model fermion.   I will show existing  
measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron put bounds on this scenario,  
and also suggest further analysis that could provide more  
information.  If the top is composite, it can result in radical  
departures from Standard Model expectations at the CERN Large  
Hadron Collider, including an enhancement of the rate of four top  
production by many orders of magnitude at the LHC. I will discuss  
how one may observe such a deviation at the LHC at what  
characteristics can distinguish a composite top from other forms of  
new physics in the data.
