Video Description

A fun cartoon depiction of the particles involved in the Standard Model, with quarks, leptons, their antiparticles and also the force carriers (including the hypothesized but not observed graviton). Each particle/force carrier is shown as a cartoon character and given a brief introduction, and there are animations of some of their roles. The video is primarily aimed at a young audience but should be interesting for anyone new to the Standard Model! It is narrated by the 'Down Quark'who lives in a helium atom. The characters are each colourful and different to aid in distinguishing and remembering them.

Video Creator Bio

I am a 15 year old student interested in physics. I have never formally studied particle physics but am looking forward to it as part of the coming school year's physics AS level course. I also enjoy making animations, and it's been fun to combine physics with something creative!

This animation is totally adorable. Nicely done. Will want to update it with a Higgs!

That was ADORABLE!! What an awesome job! It is extra incredible that you're only 15 years old! Keep up the good work and we'll be reading about your future discoveries!

We would really appreciate it. My 12 year old twin daughters loved your video, too!

I enjoyed this, but..

Parts of your video were a little too silly for me. I thought the music was a bit repetitive. And I never imagined photons could look so mean.

But overall; this was a great effort for a young person. It got almost all the important points in, and I imagine other young people will have fun watching it.

You are to be commended.

All the Best,

Jonathan
