Introduction

For decades, the study of the universe’s most fundamental building blocks has captivated physicists and students alike. Particle physics, often referred to as high-energy physics, seeks to answer a simple yet profound question: What is the universe made of, and what holds it together?

Instead of a progress bar, the screen flickered. The black text of the webpage began to drift, swirling like loose atoms in a cloud chamber. Elias rubbed his eyes, blaming the caffeine, but the screen didn't clear. The letters began to organize themselves into a glowing, 3D model of a Feynman diagram. "That’s not right," he muttered.
