When did beyond the standard model become an acceptable topic, and what has it added to our knowledge?
The Emergence of Beyond the Standard Model: What We've Learned
- Thread starter wolram
- Start date
In summary, the Standard Model is a theory in physics that describes the fundamental particles and their interactions in the universe, but it has limitations such as not including gravity, dark matter, and dark energy. The Beyond the Standard Model theory aims to address these limitations and proposes new particles and interactions. So far, there is no direct evidence for BSM, but some experiments have produced results that cannot be fully explained by the Standard Model. If proven true, the BSM theory could greatly expand our understanding of the universe and have practical implications in various fields.

I see the soothsayers of science are as shy as ever.

According to Wiki, it assumed its present form in 1967.

Really ? No you did not read down to "strong interaction in 1973-74"DaveC426913 said:

If you really scroll down, you can find "neutrino mass" which is really well established and does require some (some might say slight) modification of the particle physics standard model.
1. What is the Standard Model?
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.
2. What are the limitations of the Standard Model?
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.
3. What is the Beyond the Standard Model theory?
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.
4. What have we learned about the BSM theory so far?
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.
5. What are the potential implications of the BSM theory?
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.
