How many as yet undiscovered particles do we need to make the standard model work?
Orodruin said:Define "work".
But the standard model does not deal with gravity, nor does it deal with a solution to the dark matter problem. Since the are open problems, we have no idea what is required.wolram said:The graviton is needed for our theories of gravity
Some as yet unknown particle is needed to make dark matter work.
etc.
graviton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton
Axion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axion
etc.
Scientists determine the number of hypothetical particles needed by conducting experiments and analyzing data. They also use mathematical models and theories to predict the existence of new particles.
Hypothetical particles are particles that have been theorized to exist, but have not yet been observed or proven to exist through experiments.
Scientists need hypothetical particles to explain phenomena that cannot be explained by known particles. These particles are also necessary for the development of new theories and models in physics.
There is no specific number of hypothetical particles being studied as new particles are constantly being proposed and studied by scientists. Some popular examples include dark matter particles, gravitons, and axions.
Yes, hypothetical particles play a crucial role in modern physics as they help scientists understand and explain the fundamental forces and interactions in the universe. They also aid in the development of new theories and advancements in the field of physics.
