The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory that explains how the fundamental particles of the universe interact. It describes two main types of particles: fermions, which make up matter, and bosons, which mediate forces. Key particles include quarks, which combine to form protons and neutrons, and leptons, such as electrons. The model also includes force-carrying particles like the photon for electromagnetic force and the gluon for the strong force. This framework has been incredibly successful in predicting experimental results and understanding the universe at its most basic level. However, it does not include gravity, which is described by general relativity, nor does it account for dark matter and dark energy, which are still mysteries in modern physics
