Facts And Mysteries In Elementary Particle Physics 95%
We have confirmed the existence of 17 fundamental particles—12 fermions (matter-builders like quarks and leptons) and 5 bosons (force-carriers like the photon and gluon).
Veltman famously describes physics as a play where are the actors and the laws of quantum mechanics and relativity form the stage.
Drawing heavily from the insights of Nobel laureate in his celebrated book Facts and Mysteries in Elementary Particle Physics , we can explore the subatomic world through a unique lens: one that separates what we experimentally know for certain (facts) from the profound gaps in our understanding (mysteries). The "Actors" and the "Stage"
