Lecture 5 | New Revolutions in Particle Physics: Standard Model

(February 8, 2010) Professor Leonard Susskind discusses gauge theories.

This course is a continuation of the Fall quarter on particle physics. The material will focus on the Standard Model of particle physics, especially quantum chromodynamics (the theory of quarks) and the electroweak theory based on the existence of the Higgs boson. We will also explore the inadequacies of the Standard Model and why theorists are led to go beyond it.

This course was originally presented in Stanford's Continuing Studies program.

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always The material will focus on the Standard Model of particle physics, especially quantum chromodynamics

@technopagan724 ...come to think of it...that would also seem to imply that a particle would be one thing in one reference frame and another thing in another reference frame moving WRT the 1st

[technopagan724]

if kinetic energy is RF-dependent, & the purpose of the accelerator is to provide energy to (for example) the electron to decay a certain way, then does that mean that an electron which can't decay in a way because of energy restrictions WILL be able to decay that way if we change our frame of reference? That doesn't make any sense.

so many informative videos

I'll be looking for more of these videos.

Great lecture, thank you.

Why is Prof. Susskind sure that Alice does not LIKE group theory ...?

Good lecture :-)))

[gapalacic]

Thank you Professor and Stanford University...I hope see lectures about Quantum Field Theory soon!
