Is the standard model of particle physics complete? This question was originally answered on Quora by Jay Wacker.

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations ...

The Standard Model of particle physics is a triumph of science. It's a collection of 17 particles, and four forces. Physicists like to call it "elegant" ...

The Standard Model. What a dull name for the most accurate scientific theory known to humans. How about the Absolutely Amazing Theory of Almost Everything instead? That’s what the Standard Model ...

Our best understanding of how these particles and three of the forces are related to each other is encapsulated in the Standard Model of particle physics.

Unless something unexpected happens soon, the LHC may well be humanity's last high-energy collider to discover something new.

Recently, a series of precise measurements of already known, bog-standard particles and processes have threatened to shake up physics.

Precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider.
