The Standard Model of Particle Physics | Can't Sleep? Learn About the Building Blocks of Everything

Season 8 Episode 518 Published 2 months ago
Description

Can’t sleep, so naturally this is the perfect time to get into the grand, deeply reasonable mess known as particle physics. In this episode, you’ll get a calm, steady look at the Standard Model, including the fundamental particles, the forces they interact through, and how physicists built a framework for explaining an alarming amount of reality. No whispering, no jumpy sound design, just a consistent voice reading something interesting enough to hold your attention without demanding too much from your very tired brain.


Happy sleeping!
