The Evidence for Modern Physics: How We Know What We Know Season 1 Episode 7 Discovering Subatomic Particles

Survey the fundamental particles and forces of the Standard Model, which is the prevailing theory of particle physics. Then focus on nonfundamental particles and their discovery tools, such as the cloud chamber. Easily built at home, the cloud chamber reveals the products of radioactive decay, including antimatter -- which sounds like science fiction but is an authentic feature of reality.
