This guy is an awesome speaker. Keeps it in understandable terminology. Love the royal institution lectures.

[juliaconnell]

This is by far the most clear, concise and eloquent description of a very confusing, complex & counter intuitive model

That woman, sleeping in the background, cracks me up every time i see her :D

[dash]

this is the single most interesting and informative video I've ever seen

[AirborneAnt]

Wow This Video is There are SO MANY pearls of WISDOM that get dropped in this Video it’s AMAZING!!!! 10/10 STARS
He really knows his

[orionunivers]

Note to self: When you feel sleepy, never sit in the front row.

[eternal]

The explanation is very clear and I can even understand it! I love your speech. Learned a lot

[musicalsaber]

If the muon decays into a electron and neutrinos, how is it fundamental. Just curious, I want to go into particle and quantum physics so knowing these things are helpful.

[carryon]

This gas been the clearest to understand to someone like me. Thank you. Will search for the continuation of the talk!

[lance]

This is very helpful. I am reading “Galileo’s Finger” by Peter Atkins where he talked about fundamental particles and this vid really helped me to understand the condept

[Halva-qj]

I'm studying this at school and even my teacher couldn't explain it properly eh..
I haven't find any material in my language so this video really helped me

[hey_hey]

he missed a couple things like: every fermions has anti-fermions, there are positive and negative W gauge bosons and the fact that quantum electrodynamics also includes positrons that react as the electromagnetic force with electrons that exchange photons.

[innertubez]

Cool video! So does the Higgs field not interact at all with photons and other massless particles? How is that explained?

[EduardodaSilva]

O wish Mr Faraday could see this lecture

[youtubeusername]

I needed a refresher for standard model after the announcement from Fermilab

[suyogghosh]

7:15 me (in the background) when the most important part of lecture comes which would've built my basic understanding of the topic

So my TShirt that I got to support The R.I. came in the mail today, courtesy of the Royal Postal Service.(keeping the packet because it's my first packet from the U.K.) but any how....I was so pleased with it! It's the short that has the print out of "The Standard Model" when I put it on to show my wife, knowing she'd jus roll her eyes an say, " Oh, got yourself another 'nerd' shirt."...she didn't say anything. She actually stared at it for a minute. Just a blank stare. Then she looked up, into my eyes, an said, "I don't like it." ...I asked why, it's the standard model of everything the universe is made of, all the fundamental particles....she said...."somethings don't know what, but it's So....how right is she? What is missing from the standard model that we are still looking for? Cause I can't wear my new t-shirt thinking it's incomplete, let alone in front of her, without being judged as an incomplete fool....please help R.I. !

The original video was fine, no need to cut it out in pieces, we can hold our attention for an hour...

The PARTICLE TRAIN!  Previously I suggested that eternal photons made electron positron pairs,  
(as well as all standard model particles). Here's how. 

Start with a PARTICLE TRAIN, each time you add an electron  or positron car to the train, you get a new particle.
The only rule is the cars have to alternate from electron to positron.  Think of a wave with trough always alternating with crest.

Photons as electron positron pairs could make the main parts of an atom in the brief time after the Big Bang under those extreme and never repeated conditions.

Charges are the cars on our particle train.
Positive  positron (+),
Negative  electron (-). 

Positron (+)
Electron (-) 
Photon (+) (-)
Proton (+) (-) (+)    Anti Proton (-) (+) (-)
Neutron (+) (-) (+) (-)   Anti Neutron (-) (+) (-)(+) . 

The PROTONS and NEUTRONS are made from
ELECTRONS and POSITRONS!

When this production of particles was over, most anti particles with charge; positrons, and anti protons, didn't exist on their own. They were LOCKED INTO PROTONS OR NEUTRONS. That way conservation of charge was maintained. That also explains the MISSING ANTI MATTER PROBLEM!

This from Wikipedia article Matter Creation:
It is possible to create all fundamental particles in the standard model, including quarks, leptons and bosons using photons of varying energies above some minimum threshold, whether directly (by pair production), or by decay of the intermediate particle (such as a W− boson decaying to form an electron and an electron-antineutrino).
