Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Standard Model of particle physics is the Black child on the school bus. It is the collection of all the things that a Black child is made out of, as a scientist who has reached adulthood.
#2 I enjoy a neatly ordered tale that can come off like a carefully constructed sum of its parts. I enjoy studying systems as they change in time and looking for patterns or predictions about patterns in their behavior. I used to think that absolute predictions could be made if I had sufficient information, but this is not the case.
#3 The quantum world of particles is a strange place. We can never really predict what particles will do, but we can calculate the likelihood that something will happen and the timescale over which we expect it to occur.
#4 The Standard Model is the current understanding of particle physics, and it is largely understood to be experimentally complete as of 2012. It contains three categories of fermions: quarks, leptons, and vector bosons. Everything we have ever seen in the universe that is made out of quarks and leptons has a mass because of the Higgs, a scalar boson.
