Fundamental Particles

002 - Fundamental Particles

In this video Paul Andersen explains how at the smallest level all matter is made of fundamental particles; including quarks, electron, photons and neutrinos. He explains how understanding the properties of these particles allows us to understand the behavior of the matter.

Horvath, Made by Arpad. English: The Quark Structure of the Proton. There Are Two up Quarks in It and One down Quark. The Strong Force Is Mediated by Gluons (wavey). The Strong Force Has Three Types of Charges, the so-Called Red, Green and the Blue. Note That the Choice of Green for the down Quark Is Arbitrary; the "Color Charge" Is Thought of as Circulating among the Three Quarks., March 16, 2006.
