The Standard Model of Particle Physics | Can't Sleep? Learn About the Building Blocks of Everything

Can’t sleep, so naturally this is the perfect time to get into the grand, deeply reasonable mess known as particle physics. In this episode, you’ll get a calm, steady look at the Standard Model, including the fundamental particles, the forces they interact through, and how physicists built a framework for explaining an alarming amount of reality. No whispering, no jumpy sound design, just a consistent voice reading something interesting enough to hold your attention without demanding too much from your very tired brain.

Happy sleeping!
