Exploring the Smallest Building Blocks of the Universe

The video explores the concept of fundamental particles and the Standard Model, which describes the smallest building blocks of the universe and the forces that govern their interactions. It delves into the structure of atoms, the discovery of quarks, and the role of high-energy particles. The video also discusses neutrinos, antimatter, and the Higgs boson, highlighting the mysteries that remain unsolved, such as the nature of dark matter and the integration of gravity into the Standard Model.
