Nature's Constituents

Explore the frontiers of particle physics in this comprehensive lecture by Maria Spiropulu, Professor of Physics at the California Institute of Technology. Delve into the robustness of the Standard Model following the discovery of the Higgs particle in 2013. Examine key concepts including quantum mixing, the Large Hadron Collider's role in Higgs discovery, origins and connections in particle physics, and potential developments beyond the Higgs. Gain insights into the future of particle physics and the ongoing quest to understand nature's fundamental constituents. Recorded at the 2014 World Science Festival in New York City, this talk offers a deep dive into cutting-edge physics research and its implications for our understanding of the universe.
