6 Subatomic Stories: Known subatomic forces

To understand the universe, you need to understand the different forces that govern it. In episode 6 of Subatomic Stories, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the nature of the forces that govern the microcosm.

You should totally do one big special video of just answering questions. Because other subscribers are asking extremely salient questions that poke and prod at points that you and other physics youtube channels all too often gloss over, and you give such succinct and understandable answers to them!

Love the questions; sometimes I learn just as much from a question as I do from a lecture

[BenjaminCronce]

I like this 50/50 split between lecture and question answering.

In one word you are an absolute legend Dr.lincoln. hats off to you. Please keep these videos coming.

[kagannasuhbeyoglu]

Thanks a lot Fermilab. Wonderful subatomic series.

[PierreSoubourou]

Thank you :-) could you explain how the electromagnetic and weak forces can be grouped together?

[mixpick]

All I know is that my brain hertz after watching your videos and thinking about the nuances of what you are saying. All I can say to that is keep them coming and --Thanks! These videos are like little treasures on the internet!

I just want to say I'm so happy to see you well, doc, stay safe ❤️

Another great video / series. Don's new episode is the highlight of my week.

[sebastiandierks]

I like the viewer questions section more than the actual video because it's more in depth and not just the very basics. Thanks for the videos Don!

I read "The God Particle" two months ago. Great book.

[MusicalRaichu]

10:39 share with your friends? but then they'll ask questions too and there'll be less chance that you'll answer my questions ... :(

[philjamieson]

Thanks once again Dr for explaining all this in such a clear way.

[fairypixiepixie]

Your videos are amazing and I really understood the topic of subatomic particles and was able to complete my research because of ur videos. Thanks a lot

Dr Lincon, how could we prove the existence of axions?

[Jenab]

I just bought a used copy of _Introduction to High Energy Physics_ by Perkins for $9 on Amazon. The regular price is $130. And I found copies of Vol.1 and Vol.2 of the _MIT Wavelength Tables_ that were going for a song, too. Clever shopping pays off. Heh heh.

How come when quarks interact give rise to mediators which are heavier than the quarks itself? And how do we detect these mediators experimentally?

[bbartt]

Could you make an episode about electroweak force specifically? How does it work with photons, W and Z bosons? Why the energy must be so high to make it appear?

[esperancaemisterio]

Hi doctor! Thanks for the awesome series! Can you please elaborate a little bit more about the particles decay? Like, why they decay, why the time to decay varies, why they decay in specific ways...

Thanks! =)

Obrigado pelas explicações claras e objetivamente ótimas
