--- title: Current state of the Standard Model date: "2002-08-22T12:00:00Z" categories: - links wp_id: 1210 description: I recommend Matt's clear summary of the Standard Model, which explains our current understanding of fundamental particles like quarks. It provides an accessible overview of high-energy physics for those interested in the building blocks of matter. keywords: [standard model, particle physics, quarks, kuro5hin, fundamental particles, high-energy physics] --- Matt's excellent summary of the [current state of the Standard Model](http://www.kuro5hin.org/?op=displaystory;sid=2002/8/21/195035/576) at kuro5hin.
