When did beyond the standard model become an acceptable topic, and what has it added to our knowledge?
Really ? No you did not read down to "strong interaction in 1973-74"DaveC426913 said:According to Wiki, it assumed its present form in 1967.
The Standard Model is a theory in physics that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions that make up the universe. It has been incredibly successful in explaining and predicting a wide range of phenomena, but it is not a complete theory and has some limitations.
One of the main limitations of the Standard Model is that it does not include gravity, which is a fundamental force in the universe. It also cannot explain dark matter or dark energy, which are believed to make up a large portion of the universe's mass and energy. Additionally, the Standard Model does not explain why there are three generations of particles or why particles have specific masses.
Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) theory is a set of theories and ideas that aim to address the limitations of the Standard Model. These theories propose new particles, forces, and interactions that could help explain the phenomena that the Standard Model cannot.
Scientists have conducted numerous experiments and observations to try and find evidence of BSM particles and interactions. So far, there has been no direct evidence of BSM, but some experiments have produced results that are not fully explained by the Standard Model. This suggests that there may be something beyond the Standard Model, but more research and evidence are needed to confirm this.
If the BSM theory is proven to be true, it would greatly expand our understanding of the universe and the fundamental laws that govern it. It could also have practical implications, such as helping us better understand and potentially harness dark matter and dark energy. Additionally, the discovery of new particles and forces could have technological applications in fields such as energy production and medical imaging.
