-as of [18 OCTOBER 2024]-
.
-the standard model of ‘particle physics’ is a ‘theory’ concerning the [(‘electro-magnetic’ / ‘weak’ / ‘strong’) ‘nuclear interactions’], as well as ‘classifying’ all the ‘sub-atomic particles’ known-
.
.
*17 ELEMENTARY PARTICLES* —>
-6 QUARK FLAVORS-
(nucleus)
(and 6 “anti-quarks”)
.
-6 LEPTON FLAVORS-
(orbitals)
(and 6 “anti-leptons”)
.
-4 “FORCE CARRIERS”-
.
-1 “SCALAR BOSON”-
.
-[PHOTONS] CARRY THE “ELECTRO-MAGNETIC FORCE”–
-[GLUONS] CARRY THE “STRONG FORCE”–
-[W/Z BOSONS] CARRY THE “WEAK FORCE”–
.
-THE [HIGGS BOSON] CARRIES “MASS”–
(NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO “GRAVITY”)
.
-THE “GRAVITON” IS THE THEORETICAL “BOSON” THAT CARRIES “GRAVITY”-

-FOCAL POINT-
.
.
*focal length* —>
.
-[LIGHT] PASSING THROUGH A “CONVEX LENS” CONVERGES TO A “FOCAL POINT”-
-[LIGHT] PASSING THROUGH A “CONCAVE LENS” DIVERGES-
.
“F” IS “FOCAL POINT”
“f” IS “FOCAL LENGTH”
.
.
*3
.
.
“LIGHT” = “ELECTRO-MAGNETIC RADIATION”
“electron” = “mass”
.
.
-the “negative electron” is attracted to the “positive proton”-
.
-the [proton] is contained in the [atomic nucleus]-
-it is made up of [[2 “UP QUARKS”] + [1 “DOWN QUARK”]]-
-“quark generation 1” (of 3)-
-“UP QUARKS” HAVE AN [ELECTRIC CHARGE] OF [+2/3]-
-“DOWN QUARKS” HAVE AN [ELECTRIC CHARGE] OF [-1/3]-
-SO [PROTON] HAS TOTAL “ELECTRIC CHARGE” OF [+1]-
.
-“NEUTRONS” ARE THE OTHER “PARTICLE TYPE” IN [ATOMIC NUCLEUS]-
-it is made up of [[1 “UP QUARK”] + [2 “DOWN QUARKS”]-
(for an “electric charge” of 0)
.
*HADRONS* —>
“PROTONS”
“NEUTRONS”
.
–“QUARKS” ARE HELD TOGETHER BY THE “STRONG FORCE”–
–“GLUONS” ARE THE “ENERGY EQUIVALENT” OF “HADRONS”-

-down-
-charm-
-strange-
-top-
-bottom-

-CHANGES THE “FLAVOR” OF QUARKS-
(mass/charge)
-RESPONSIBLE FOR “BETA DECAY”-
.
-[HIGGS-BOSON]-
.
-in an “unstable” atomic nucleus, changing the “quark flavor” will result in the release of “energy” from the [nucleus]-
.
(it was developed throughout the latter half of the ‘1900s’ as a collaborative effort of ‘scientists’ around the ‘world’)
(the ‘current formulation’ was finalized in the ‘mid-1970s’ upon ‘experimental confirmation’ of the ‘existence’ of ‘quarks’)
(since then, discoveries of the ‘top quark’ (‘1995’), the ‘tau neutrino’ (‘2000’), and the ‘higgs-boson’ (‘2012’) have given further credence to the ‘standard model’)
(because of its ‘success’ in explaining a wide variety of ‘experimental results’, the ‘standard model’ is sometimes regarded as the “theory of ‘(almost’) everything'”)
(although the ‘standard model’ is believed to be theoretically ‘self-consistent’ and has demonstrated ‘huge’ + ‘continued’ successes in ‘providing experimental predictions’, it does leave some ‘phenomena’ unexplained and it falls short of being a “‘complete theory’ of ‘fundamental interactions'”)
(it does not incorporate the ‘full theory of gravitation” as described by ‘general relativity’, or account for the ‘accelerating expansion of the ‘universe” (as possibly described by ‘dark energy’))
(the ‘model’ does not contain any viable ‘dark matter particle’ that possesses all of the ‘required properties’ deduced from ‘observational cosmology’)
(it also does not incorporate ‘neutrino oscillations’ (and their ‘non-zero masses’))
(the development of the ‘standard model’ was driven by ‘theoretical’ and ‘experimental’ *particle physicists* alike)
(for ‘theorists’, the ‘standard model’ is a ‘paradigm’ of a ‘quantum field theory’, which exhibits a wide range of ‘physics’ including ‘spontaneous symmetry breaking’, ‘anomalies’, and ‘non-perturbative behavior’)
.
(it is used as a basis for building more ‘exotic models’ that incorporate ‘hypothetical particles’, ‘extra dimensions’, and ‘elaborate symmetries’ (such as ‘super-symmetry’) in an attempt to explain ‘experimental results’ at variance with the ‘standard model”, such as the existence of ‘dark matter’ + ‘neutrino oscillations’)
