Comments on the CMS discovery of the "Ridge" in High Multiplicity pp collisions at LHC

A very recent paper by the CMS collaboration \cite{cms_ridge} has created large discussion in the media, which call it important but did not explain why, in some places even calling it "unundestandable". While it is of course too soon to know what causes the correlations in question, a very similar observation in heavy ion collisions at RHIC has rather simple explanation related to explosion of high energy density matter. Perhaps this observation is the first hint for an explosive behavior in pp, which was anticipated and looked for for decades, yet never been seen.
