Masterminds Lecture Series - Elementary Particles: The Fundamental Building Blocks of Nature

The lecture discusses the fundamental building blocks of nature from the point of view of a particle physicist. Known as the “Standard model”, matter and energy are explained by a small number of elementary particles and forces. Some of their properties are discussed and a brief look at some of the open questions challenging the model. Presentation by Richard Keeler, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Department of Physics Register for this, or all of the Masterminds lectures at https://events.eply.com/Masterminds2021  For more information about the Masterminds Lecture Series https://www.uvic.ca/masterminds/
