The Standard Model of particle physics is heralded as one of the pinnacles of human intellectual achievement, a triumph of our ingenuity over nature. It produces the most numerically precise predictions about nature in all of science, which, coupled with equally stunningly precise measurements, makes many people wonder what else we can discover. Although far from perfect, this model has been so successful in predicting particle physics experimental results in the past 50 years that any educated person should want to understand it, at least superficially.
This post is here to help you in that journey.
The first thing to do is to have a look at this table:
