The Standard Model

Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln describes the Standard Model of particle physics, covering both the particles that make up the subatomic realm and the forces that govern them.

"What exactly is fire and what makes it glow?" *GREAT QUESTION TIMMY, LET'S LOOK AT THE STANDARD MODEL.*

me: ok today imma go to sleep early
my brain at 3 AM: wanna learn about subatomic particle physics and the nature of the universe itself?

[fermilab]

Fermilab is NOT shut down. We shutdown one of our accelerators, the Tevatron, last fall but we are moving forward into the Intensity Frontier of particle physics. Come visit and see. We're close by!

After a good deal of trying to understand the Standard Model of quantum physics, this video has explained to me the final bits I needed to get my puzzle solved... This is probably the best (sort of dumbed-down) explanation of the Standard Model I've seen!

This is one of those videos where I scroll down a couple of times to make sure I pressed the like button

Thanks Dr. Don.You have no idea how disarming your presentation is. You seem like one of the best spokepersons to explain why we need to keep funding this research. You've convinced me and (btw) I've always hated Theoretical Physics for it's lack of focus, inattention, and utter disregard to simply "building a better mouse trap".

This should be required watching for all children when they start high-school or even earlier if the parents can explain it properly.

Just gone back to studying physics and chemistry A-levels, after half a lifetime of art and philosophy:) Am loving it. It's a good change to have right or wrong answers, after so much subjectivity;) This guy has quickly become my 'go to' for great, personable explanations:) thankyou x

Thanks, Fermilab! I've been keeping up since I was a student reading Scientific American. Went there with my husband and his sister, they still talk about it after five years.

Standard Model very well explained in 8 minutes.. This must be some kind of World Record. Thank you!

[mrclean]

Excellently and clearly simplified, thank you for making this video :)

I really like Don Lincoln's presentations. They informative and very coherently constructed. Keep up the good work fermilab, I'm a big fan :)

Such a useful video, I’m currently studying particle physics in high school and I was struggling to get my head around the whole idea. Thank you so much!

One minute in and I have subscribed. FYI I am a lawyer but my curiosity brought me here. Time well spent!

[riflemanc]

Amazing how much discovered and changed in the time of this video.

[hainejung]

This was explained so clearly! Happy to say that I now finally understand the standard model.

Thanks a lot for the subtitles in English, they make the google translator very easy for other languages.

Thank you for a wonderfully explanatory video. I recall hearing you on the old Milt Rosenberg radio show. How great those programs were. I'm an old Liberal Arts guy who is rediscovering science. As I read and watch each day, I am continually surprised and astonished at the macro and the micro. With Einstein and Quantum Physics, who needs Science Fiction?

[israelasala]

the best video found that tackles of fundamental particles. Looking forward for more videos

[bitm]

Your videos help me start on topics I dont know where to start with. <3
