I confess I was disappointed in the video. As someone who decades ago read Stephen Hawking's book A Brief History of Time, it doesn't substantially add to my (lame!) understanding of the Standard Model. It names the 17 entities in the model, classifies them (fermions vs bosons), makes the distinction between matter particles and force particles, chats about each of the four forces, and drops in a number of other fact…

> All well and good, and if you had no previous exposure to the standard model, you'd learn a lot. That is exactly what this video is about. If you want something to be more in-depth, this video is not going to help you. But that's okay.
