Particle physics studies the smallest constituents of matter and the forces that govern them. The Standard Model — humanity's most precise scientific theory — describes 17 fundamental particles: 6 quarks, 6 leptons, 4 force carriers, and the Higgs boson. Together they explain nearly all observed phenomena in the universe.
These simulations explore the subatomic world. Visualize the zoo of fundamental particles and their properties, understand how the Higgs field gives mass to particles through symmetry breaking, see quarks confined by the strong force, simulate particle collisions like those at the Large Hadron Collider, and watch pair production create matter from pure energy.
