Theory of Everything (intro)

A brief intro to the current theory of (almost) everything - the Standard Model of particle physics. It's like cake, only universal.

Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in a minute!

poor man's version: "L = stuff"

[MarkTurnerChromium]

I believe that the equation is actually  ℓ = 42

[leostahlheuer]

thats the theory... the answer of everything is 42!

At 0:37, you forgot +C on the integral of e^x (and the dx).

0:36 Answer to life, the universe, and everything

minute physics is such a cool concept. to compile all the information that people spend years learning about into interesting short videos is genus and very much appeals to a visual learner like myself.

[Zakerius]

You're doing a great job, love the videos and love the doodles, really brings understanding science to the fore. Need more bright people able to understand science well enough to lay things out as clearly as you are.

Thank you so much for making this! I have to give a huge presentation on the Standard Model and the Higgs Boson and these videos are going to be a big help in helping to explain it all to my audience!

[TriniSpartanx]

Thank you for all the work that you put into these short videos. learning has never been so fun. i wish more people would learn to appreciate the beauty in our universe rather than being afraid of burining in hell. life has so much more to offer when your mind is open.

[PartystormDJ]

Hey Henry. I'd really, really love it if you could do videos on complex physics equations, such as the Schrodinger equation, and explain it simply :)

[Gviil]

I honestly love your videos. You make physic fun, and easy to understand. In short, your awesome!

[rednidedni]

Standard Model is love, Standard Model is life.

[maidmarian]

i am beginning to believe that i am in love with whoever makes these videos

[Odecious]

You rock...People keep telling me to slow down...Keep it up man...I got this and it helps me explain stuff to the people around me that think "I" am a Nerd just because I can explain issues in a simple minute.

This is mind-blowing. And to think, one of my 5th graders introduced me to this channel. Every day, after math, and science, he rushes over to show me a cool new "minute physics" video. On today's menu--higgs-boson. I just went ahead and snooped around at other videos. :) I fully welcome my kids' inquisitive enthusiasm (and, as a teacher, I'm not ashamed to say 'dude, this stuff is largely new to me!'). Great stuff!

[kushal]

Never got bored while watching these videos

[Mrdenverfan]

Remember, the Standard Model of Particle Physics is the Theory of ALMOST Everything!

[MystyrNile]

The next Theory of Everything video is called "What is matter?".

(0:37) 42 is the answer to everything in the universe. Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is my favorite book! Thanks for writing that, you just made my day! :)
