Thankfully, understanding atomic and subatomic physics need not be infathomable LEGO® bricks are a great way to visualize the blueprint of the universe, right down to its smallest elements Particle Physics Brick by Brick explains how and with what the universe came to be It introduces the Standard Model of Physics, the "rule book" of physics that has been proven correct again and again since its mid-20th century development Today, it is the gaps in the model that keep physicists busy
In concise chapters, the book assigns to each atomic element a colored LEGO® brick, such as neutrons, leptons and quarks By assembling actual or imaginary bricks and observing their relationships and interactions, particle physics becomes clear The book opens with the Standard Model of Physics, the physicists and the discoveries made over history, and directions on how to use the book
The chapters that follow are:
- Building Blocks and Construction Rules
- Building a Universe
- Electromagnetism and QED (Quantum ElectroDynamics)
