The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory of three of the four known fundamental interactions and the elementary particles that take part in these interactions. These particles make up all visible matter in the universe.

Every high energy physics experiment carried out since the mid-20th century has eventually yielded findings consistent with the Standard Model.

Still, the Standard Model falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions because it does not include gravitation, dark matter, or dark energy. It is not quite a complete description of leptons either, because it does not describe nonzero neutrino masses, although simple natural extensions do.

ELECTRONS

The particle itself is a fundamental particle and is too small to be seen by any imaginable instrument of observation. So we instead represent the properties that allow the electron to interact. The central small dot represents the weak charge of the electron. This charge entirely separate from electric charge gives rise to the Weak Nuclear Force.

This force causes radioactive decay and its typical range is much smaller than the diameter of a proton.
The larger volume of shifting purple is meant to represent the Electric Charge of the electron. This charge is the generator of the Electromagnetic Force which has infinite range although the drop off in strength is pretty dramatic as we move away from the electron.

The Electromagnetic Force is how electrons interact with other electrically charged particles and with magnetic fields. These interactions make the structure of atoms and molecules possible. This gives rise to almost all of the complexity that we see around us.

PROTONS

The Proton is composed of two up quarks and one down quark (as you can see from the tiny rings of color near the center of each quark.) The overall charge of the proton is positive and so we have given it a gold shell. (Note that we can simply add the charges of the individual quarks to get the charge of the proton).

The red, green, and blue colors of the quarks represent the color charge which generates the Strong Nuclear Force that holds them together. It comes in three different charges represented here by the three colors, and for different colors the force is attractive.

The mediator of the Strong Force (the particle that is exchanged in an interaction) is a gluon. We represent gluon exchange as the occasional wispy strings between the quarks. As you can see the gluons have color themselves, and each gluon exchange causes the quarks involved to swap color. Although we show the quark motion inside the proton as leisurely, they are actually traveling close to the speed of light.

NEUTRONS

The Neutron is composed of two down quarks and one up quark (as you can see from the tiny rings of color near the center of each quark.) The overall charge of the neutron is neutral and so we have given it a silver shell. (note that we can simply add the charges of the individual quarks to get the charge of the neutron. )

The red, green, and blue colors of the quarks represent the color charge that generates the Strong Nuclear Force that holds them together. It comes in three charges represented here by the three colors, and for different colors the force is attractive.

  • Q. What did the two hydrogen atoms say to the oxygen atom?

    A. Water you doing here?!

  • I wish i had a funny science joke to tell too... but all the good ones Argon :(

  • @hotsauce3n Yep. Sour things, such as lemons and vinegar, have a low pH, which means that they have a large number of free roaming hydrogen ions, basically lone protons.

  • interesting video and very informative

  • Protons taste sour? Lol wtf

  • @tanzilize you added "smaller than the atom" yourself didn't you? lol....

  • A biologist, a physicist and a mathematician are sitting on a bench. They happen to observe a small house on the other side of the street. At one point, they see 2 people going in, and much later, 3 people come out. They wonder why.

    The physicist says: "There must have been an error on our initial measurement."

    The biologist says: "No, they just reproduced."

    The mathematician says: "I don't see the problem. If one more person goes in, the house will simply be empty."

  • @toffeeskill  got a good laugh out og that one

  • KEEP BREAKING THE ATOMS SUBATOMIC PARTICLES QUARKS & GLUONS UNLESS YOU DISCOVER A PARTICLE SLIGHTLY BIGGER THEN NOTHING. THAT SLIGHTLY BIGGER THEN NOTHING PARTICLES ARE THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR CREATOR. SO INFINITE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR INFINITE CREATOR CAN CREATE ANYTHING OUT OF NOTHING.

    Quran 10:61 "AND Nothing is hidden from your Lord, the weight of a speck of dust on the earth or in the heaven. Not what is less(Smaller then atom) than that or what is greater than that but it is in a Clear Record"

  • Helium: omg i've lost an electron

    Hydrogen: you sure u aint misplaced it?

    Helium: I'm positive!!
