I know you’re all following the Minute Physics videos (that we talked about here<\/a>), but just in case my knowledge is somehow fallible you really should start following them. After taking care of why stones are round<\/a>, and why there is no pink light<\/a>, Henry Reich is now explaining the fundamental nature of our everyday world: quantum field theory and the Standard Model. It’s a multi-part series, since some things deserve more than a minute, dammit.<\/p>\n

Two parts have been posted so far. The first is just an intro, pointing out something we’ve already heard<\/a>: the Standard Model of Particle physics describes all the world we experience in our everyday lives.<\/p>\n
