If you were to take a coffee cup, and break it in half, then in half again, and keep carrying on, where would you end up? Could you keep on going forever? Or would you eventually find a set of indivisible building blocks out of which everything is made? Jonathan Butterworth explains the Standard Model theory and how it helps us understand the world we live in.
Lesson by Jon Butterworth, directed by Nick Hilditch.

I love when scientists give up and call things the strong force, weak force, up, down, bottom, top, strange
They probably started out as nothing more than abstract math. Could literary call them anything.
That's not even the half of it. For a while they were going to call the top and bottom quarks "truth" and "beauty."
It makes very complex concepts just a tinier bit easier to deal with.
Hehe bottom and top ;)
Better than calling it with some random code such as g145, x859, and p215. That would be so annoying.
Scientist: hey, strangely charming quark.
Quark: *blushes*
Late but
Top and bottom quark 😏
Idk why this Made me blush , I am not A Quark 😅
@@inspirex1831 You are human, made up of matter, atoms, which are made up of nucleons and electrons, Nucleons are made up of quarks! So-
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am made up of quarks
And so are you
@@fredsangalang5839 can but not always will they have holes
@@inspirex1831 I guess it's because ::
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
When your quarks blush,
You do too.
You guys make physics so accessible to everyone 💛

Luv you baby.
But still too heavy for me
Look Katie got pinned, Everyone loves Katie. ,Katie you are eternal as the fundamental particle because you are always everywhere.

Youre my brother
@@jimitsoni18 lol
true bro!!!.....even I was abt to say that
the smallest thing in the universe is our understanding of the universe

Quarks and stuff
Oh that’s a thing
In a place
And they’ve got spices
@Patchthepotato try to fit together, because it's getting bigger and heavier
We can make a religion out of this!
And it’s getting closer together...
12 years of school and not once was I told that the electromagnetism between protons and electrons is maintained through the transfer of photons. The classic model and by extension, the classic educational system has failed me.
They didn't know this back when I was in physics class. Makes me wonder what my physics teacher is teaching today (well, likely he is retired, but if he was still teaching...).
This is prbably universiry level stuff
waqqas no this is at very least eighth grade or high school
@@RyBrown How do you know? J diddnt learn this in high school (im in grade 10)
I did learn this sort of stuff in high school physics, but I am pretty sure it should have been called AP Physics...my teacher worked with a local college proof to develop the lab workbook, which the local college physics class also used. It was a HARD class in high school. He did have a formula for grading that either gave students a straight grade based on percentage or a "grading on the curve" grade, whichever was a better grade...he figured if a significant number of the class did less well on the test, he hadn't taught the material well, so it was his fault, not theirs.
*These animations are **_particl-ularly_** awesome*
Nice pun

3:40 Small correction - neutrinos actually do interact with gravity a *very* small amount and not just the weak force. (This was discovered in recent years, which, I assume, is why it's not in the video.) That said, their mass is so tiny (millions of times smaller than an electron) that the force of gravity is almost nothing on them and everything except the weak force is negligible.
It’s weird that they explicitly said neutrinos have mass but didn’t say they interact with gravity. I don’t think it was “discovered”, more like just proven because anything with a mass should interact with gravity. And even things without mass but energy (like photon) interacts with it.
Since in general relativity, gravity is not really a force but rather the curvature of space time- it is not possible, at least in theory, for anything to exist, including virtual zero mass particle that do not interact with gravity. We have not found a single particle that does not interact with gravity.
Very amazing animations to explain this complicated model.
Thanks TED for existing!
Yup and I still don't get it.
@@abuzohaifa1066
When they say, "May the force be with you" they mean "have exposure to force particles".
Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules:
Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. (More spatial curvature). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are actually a part of the quarks. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" make sense based on this concept. Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity.
That cup molecule looks... suspicious...

Hmmmm possibly flaccid?

What did the neutron say to the proton?
Neutron: What's up?
Proton: My quarks! Whata bout you?
Neutron: Not my quarks. I'm feeling pretty down, actually.
No
SnowLeopard84 fangirl no
No
yes
Affirmative
I love how easily understood this lesson is despite its very complex subject matter. I’d love to see more physics videos!
Thanks Ted-Ed for making physics, a subject I'm easily confused by, a fun lesson with wonderful animation and narration!
Alright, let's pass this AP physics test. Thanks
Haha good luck with that...
Good luck, what is meant by AP?
advanced placement
@@giovannip8600
aha yes!
I don’t think quantum mechanics is on the AP test lol
Thank you so much for this! I've always wondered what the particles that are smaller than subatomic particles were. I also really love how you can explain complex concepts in a really simple way that people can understand and that can be easily accessed.
This is not an easy topic and being in 7th grade with the urge to learn, Ted Ed has made it possible form me to learn anything. Thanks!
r u a sophomore in highschool now?! what's up man r u still being curious, what's interesting u nowadays? :)
As an 8th grader, I agree!😯
I am showing this to my eight year old immediately! The simplest and best explanation of matter that I have ever seen.
He liked the video, although I paused it a couple times to add explanations (like what a particle accelerator is). Now he's back playing video games.
@@Andreamom001 lol
First I read "Now he's back playing with his particle accelerator."
So how is your son now?
Is he on his path to become the next Einstein?
Ted-ed makes any topic very easy to understand...... Whenever i want to learn anything i just search the topic followed by the words 'ted-ed'. It is amazing. Thanks a lot Ted-ed team!
Even Wikipedia could not explain this as elegantly as you guys did. Finally I understand it better.
wikipedia cant explain anything as well as a 4 year old trying to teach quantum mechanics to a bunch of college students
Wikipedia isn't known for its elegance
An hour ago was confused about the fundamental particles while watching a video and now this video solves my problem
Great work 😁
Fun fact: the term Quark is derived from James Joyce's puzzling masterpiece Finnegans Wake.
"Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he has not got much of a bark
And sure any he has it’s all beside the mark."
I remember my Physics A level paper that was on the Standard model and astrophysics, I got 117/120 and i was so proud. I never followed this field further but im happy to see i still remembered the basics. Excellent video
Yiee! Ted Ed's animations are awesome.
You forgot the carrier of the fourth Fundamental Force, the gravito... Oh wait...
Yeah
Gaigaborn it would be gg
Genius comment
what do you mean ?
It totally makes sense if you dont consider gravity a force at all, but rather curves in spacetime
Great video!! I have known about the elementary particles for years but this quick video just gave me more info about the interactions of the particles then I ever knew. Now it's time for more advanced vids
Thank you so much for helping. I was trying to understand the standard model for 3.5 months, but after seeing this video I understood it.
Amazing......after watching this I was so intrigued that I opened at least 20 more tabs just to know more
Hi there take some extra info
Atom in Greek is άτομο
Άτομο is a synthetic word and breaking it down we end with α which basically is un and τομος which means cuttable
So in Greek ατομος means uncuttable
Lol I just know some Greek letters but I didn’t know that
Yeah, back int he day, scientists believed the atom was the smallest particle of matter that could exist. I still wonder if some day science will discover there is something smaller than all these subatomic particles...perhaps not. Something has to be the actual smallest, right?
@@Andreamom001 there might be strings
I'm looking to do molecular physics as a profession, and this just pushed me forward a bit more, so thanks!
Thanks for the information. Now I can recreate literally ANYTHING in the universe.
Isn't it amazing!? We're made of the universe.
*We ARE the universe
Ted-Ed makes physics or whatever topic easy for me
Thanks Ted-Ed
Same
My school uses it for teaching
This is one of the best explanations I have seen so far.
I can always count on TED to take something complex and make it understandable in just a few minutes. Great video and much appreciated.
wow i was watching videos about muon yesterday and today this!
Minute physics?
@@gagangovindaraju1106 yeah it was one of them
Maybe we didn't realise this.
But *The force* was within us all along.
Super simplified , how TED-ED explains the standard model in a simplified way. They make it so simple that a kindargarten kid can understand 💛💛💛
I have been wanting to learn this for years. Thank you so much :)
The smallest thing in the universe is my will to live.
get help
Very good explanation of science. Nice video.
Lovely explanation - I was curious about how you were going to tackle the gravitational force and the hypothetical graviton. Interesting how gravitational force use to be so often included in Standard Model discussions but, then, after LIGO, people seem more cautious to include it. I would have thought the opposite. I would love to see a Part 2 focused on QFT that shows the underpinnings of all of the particles (and where energies "go" when unstable). [~ a happy physicist]
Well done. Can't wait for part II: Physics Beyond Standard Model ( BSM )
"And I think to myself
What a Wonderful World"
Tomorrow is my physics exam and this video helped me ALOT!!! THANKS TED-ED😀😀
Very interesting concept. Animations are fantastic and especially the way of explaining along with it is fabulous.😊👏the video is fantabulous.👏👍
Pretty amusing animations and impressive explanation, adore it!
Thanks to Dara O'Briain, as soon as I hear the word 'neutrinos' my mind went: "The neutrinos have mutated!".
very amazing Animation to understand science.
thanks TED.
One of the clearest explanations on the Standard Model
From basics to such depth... Just awesome!!!!❤️❤️

Love your vids 10/10
P.s when will ted talk??
Just found another great video to show my students. Thanks 👍
The science behind creation is truly mesmerizing :-)
"Chance and Necessity."
What do you mean by "creation"?
Should we be happy we were born before future theories have been created and put into textbooks? What have we been taught by our schools today that will be called silly tomorrow.
It doesn't matter.
Thank you this was so informative and easy to understand.
The best of Ted ed simplicity in all. This is best vid till in my view
If I would keep breaking my coffee cup in half and in half again, my coffee would just end up all over my desk ...
02:04 my reaction to the video !!!
You just got an UPvote.
Lol
Thank you so much for this beautiful and marvellous video!
Explanation was really awesome 👍
What happens to strange quarks when it is formed.
Pls don't say that it decompose as they are heavy particles because they are fundamental and can't be broken.
To think about it I would also like to know...
They decay through weak-force interactions
The Only UNIVERSAL SCHOOL ➡️ TED-Ed
I had so many questions arose while studying in classroom and I hesitate to ask. But I have got Ted.
So funny how it all works, it’s made easy for us, but someone had to discover this somehow. So amazing!
Some days I feel like the smallest thing in the world is my patience.
Early. I love TED-Ed videos and also Particle Physics.
You make it seem so simple. I love TED-ed (not more than physics though ha, ha)
On a serious note though, TED-ed is 🖤
whoa you guys just made physics sounds so fun and interesting
*_Do you guys just put the word
'Quantum' in front of everything?_*
That’s just the way science is
Quantum just means extremely small and that's what this vid is talking about lol
More precisely, quantum means the smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property, such as energy or matter, which will be something extremely small but some extremely small things are not quantum.
I understood that reference!
You Bunch Of Pathetic Morons, That was just an Easter egg from the movie *_"ANTMAN AND THE WASP (2018)"_*
I didn't ask for Wikipedia!
If you ever feel DOWN, like you've hit rock BOTTOM, cheer UP! You are on TOP of the world! This may sound quite STRANGE, but I'm trying to cheer you UP and CHARM you.
Wow. U are really good in this.
This was amazing. So clear.
Teded just blowed this difficult chapter up 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Uh-huh, yeah that's uh... good job science... I'll be uh... in my room, dribbling.
Meh, I still prefer the standard Victoria's Secret model.
Sebastian Elytron Victoria still needs to tell us her secret
@@danielliu2819 then it wouldn't be a secret anymore
Stop fighting guys
Thank you for this amazing video!
This is so interesting, i was on the internet trying to figure this out. Then TedEd uploaded
Did I just not get it or am I Stupidly Interested in this subject, but: What are Photons made out of?
Yeah, I know they don't have mass but are they really made out of nothing then? How can they be something, if they're made out of nothing?
Help :)
Photons aren’t made out anything, they are fundamental particles.
So they’re made of just a different state of energy
Remember that God is Light.
I'd wouldn't say photons are made of nothing, they are something, but they're not made out of anything (smaller). They're fundamental particles that happen to not have mass. I definitely get that it's weird to think about something that doesn't have mass but that's just the way it turns out to be. I think it basically means that it can't travel at any speed but the speed of light - that's probably the best way to think about it. As a side note: I'm pretty sure the reason why the weak force is "weak" is because the force carriers have mass, a quite significant amount, in fact. This means that they decay quickly and have a short range so the likelihood that they have enough time to exchange between particles is very low.
*I CANT DENY IT NO LONGER...!*
...i am small...
Thank you so much Ted organisation, could you please make this kind of video more .
#request .
Thank you.
Could you guys please make a video about why produce goes in and out of season? Is it just the weather and climate? Why are some out of season foods available from certain vendors? Where do they come from?
We all know its the X button on mobile ads
The smallest thing are particles? This guy is STRINGing you all along.
Excellent presentation..thanks
I gain so many knowledge thank you Ted Ed

0:43 you can't have infinitely small particles as 1/infinity can only become a whole if you add infinity. So if you put an infinitely small object somewhere,you have infinite space which is not the object. And if the object moves,even a trillion times its size,it would move 1,000,000,000,000/infinity and infinity is still infinitely bigger than trillion,so,paradoxically, doesn't move.
Absolutely well done and definitely keep it up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This would be a cool series... subatomic particles or how everything works or something
Smallest?
'quarks n stuff' (like if you know what I mean)
People like you are called cyber beggers

Delivery Man don’t get it
Hahahaha
I would say yours is too since your first thought is that. I just hope that you are younger than 16
The smallest things are people talking politics in a physics video.
I want a huge picture of the standard model for elementary particles in my room. The model just looks so cool and beautiful
Love the way you explain.
"The standard model is a remarkably elegant..." Hahaha no it's not. It's the ugliest theory in all of physics
dude indivisible infinitely small particles??? you make no sense
(it should be indivisible very small particles)
an infinitely or infitessimal small object is by definition indivisible
actually quantum physics states that there is a smallest nonzero unit of distance so infinitely small is not correct
That was great! You explained the basic findings of the model clearly and concisely.
Next I would like to know whether the existence of all those different particles are simply empirical facts -- they just turned up in the lab -- or whether their characteristics can be derived mathematically. If the latter is true, I don't need to understand all the mathematics (which I assume would be a huge undertaking), but I would like to get a general idea of what the mathematical framework is like and how the existence of the particles emerges -- like, each particle represents a solution to some set of equations, or something like that. Thank you.
Ralph Dratman I think these particles were found in experiments. There are however theories that describe the standard model mathematically. String theory is one of those. With only a few basic principles, all the particles 'come rolling out'. Exactly how string theory describes this, I can't tell you. The reason string theory is however not popular among all scientists is that to make the theory work, is that it introduces a lot of extra spatial dimensions, which are invisible to us. PBS Space Time on UA-cam has a couple of nice videos about string theory, which you can watch if you're interested.
Wonderful work!
