THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENE

Small things.
Deep questions.

Explore the building blocks of matter through six interactive studies. Colors, particle sizes, trajectories and time are visual conventions.

The field study numerically evolves a damped scalar wave on a grid. The other scenes are explanatory models. They do not run GEANT4, PYTHIA or Chroma, compute cross sections, or solve QCD.

Gravity is included as a separate conceptual study. It is not part of the Standard Model; no graviton has been observed.
