What is the Standard Model and How Does it Predict Missing Links in Physics?

AI Thread Summary
The Standard Model of particle physics serves as a foundational framework that predicts and explains fundamental particles and their interactions. It has successfully forecasted the existence of particles like the Higgs boson, which was confirmed experimentally in 2012. Similar to how the periodic table guided chemistry in predicting undiscovered elements, the Standard Model helps identify potential missing links in physics. Tools and frameworks derived from the Standard Model continue to drive research and exploration in the field. Understanding its implications is crucial for advancing knowledge in theoretical and experimental physics.

do we have tools to find missing links in physics like periodic table of elements that helped chemistry to predict elements not know at that time?

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
