Conclusion for seeing the infinitely small

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the importance of observing the infinitely small, specifically through the lens of microscopes and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Participants emphasize that understanding fundamental particles, such as quarks and electrons, is essential for grasping the nature of matter and the universe. The conclusion suggests that by studying these minuscule components, we can uncover answers to fundamental questions about existence and the structure of matter.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics concepts, particularly quarks and electrons.
  • Familiarity with the functionality of microscopes and particle accelerators like the LHC.
  • Basic knowledge of the scientific method and research methodologies.
  • Ability to interpret scientific data and findings related to fundamental particles.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of quarks in the Standard Model of particle physics.
  • Explore the operational principles of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
  • Study the implications of particle interactions on our understanding of the universe.
  • Investigate advancements in microscopy techniques for observing subatomic particles.
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in physics, researchers in particle physics, and anyone interested in the fundamental components of matter and the universe.

I need to write a conclusion for a presentation I'm doing on "Seeing the infinitely small" (translation from french), which is basically about microscopes and the LHC, how to observe the different levels of small and all that... What can I write to answer, "why are we trying to observe the infinitely small ?" I wrote something about understanding our universe and all that but can't i write something about how quarks can lead to the answers of fundamental questions etc.. .? It's in french by the way so just bullet points, no need to write a whole paragraph
Idk if this is the correct place for this but thanks in advance!

If you want to fully understand something, you have to understand its pieces first. To find the fundamental building blocks of matter, or of our universe in general, you have to look at the smallest things. Quarks are among the smallest particles we can observe.
The matter around us is made out of quarks, electrons and their interactions.
