Particle Physics Gravity and the Standard Model

Lawrence Berkeley Lab Scientist Andre Walker-Loud presents to high-school students and teachers, explaining the nature of the four fundamental forces, and how the standard model of particle physics relates to cosmology. He also talks about Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and why his profession is both important and rewarding. [Science] [Show ID: 22751]

Great lecture,but the heading is misleading I feel!

Too bad this video has a misleading title, because it has nothing to do with gravity.

@ladicius While smarts help, hard work and patience will get you there. For me, it was just like you, I was completely fascinated by these ideas, even though, before classes, I had no idea what I was getting into. Take classes on quantum mechanics - that is the first introduction to the really fascinating physics of last century. All you need to know are a few integrals, linear algebra, and have an open mind.

I must disagree with any theory that bases any reaction on something invented by men to magically suck or wiggle real particles together. This euclidian theory will never last because it can never be re-proven in projective geometry, the root of all geometries. Gravity is logjamming of like particles in return to black holes after decay in space from mass particles into energy particles, the smaller half of the universe. I have proven this in many ways in my videos.

i hope i'm smart enough, that when my education takes me to this point, to take this class and perform well. i'm a mechanical engineering/material sciences major. i'd like to take this just for the pleasure of understanding some of the most abstract ideas i have ever heard communicated.
