Rethinking Standard Model Numerology

Explore the foundations of particle physics in this 27-minute video lecture on the Standard Model and the eight-fold way. Delve into the theory of quarks, quantum numbers, and the representation theory of the compact Lie group SU(3). Gain insights into particle classification, including Fermions, Bosons, Hadrons, Baryons, Leptons, and Mesons. Examine three important particle families: the Baryon Multiplet (Octet), Meson Nonet, and Baryon Decuplet, presented in a novel way. Learn how the numerology of this theory can be simplified using the Mutation and Numbers games on the graph A2, along with associated geometry and algebra.
