The Standard Model of particle physics is the theory describing three of the four known fundamental forces in the universe (electromagnetic, weak and strong interactions - excluding gravity), and classifying all known elementary particles. Although the Standard Model has demonstrated some success in providing experimental predictions, it falls short of being a complete theory of fundamental interactions. Part I describes the development of the Standard Model from the Bohr model of the atom in 1913, based on what were believed to be 3 stable particles, electrons in orbit around a nucleus comprised of protons and neutrons, to its emergence in 1973 as the six-quark model, comprising 52 elementary particles and anti-particles, of which only the electron is believed to be stable. Part III, which was previously Part II, introduced an alternative to the Standard Model, Supersymmetry; and Part IV, which was previously Part II, introduced, String Theory. The Second Edition includes a new PART II on Unified Gravity, describing two recent papers by Partanen, M. \u0026amp; Tulkki, J. The innovation of most interest is their introduction in the March, 2024 paper of an eight-component spinorial wave equation of the electromagnetic field and the application of this to produce an eight-component spinorial (non-relativistic) formulation of Maxwell's equations in which the four equations are represented by a single eight-component spinorial equation. The second paper attempted to use this to derive a gauge theory of gravity called unified gravity using compact, finite-dimensional symmetries, in which the metric tensor entered through geometric conditions. The Second Edition also includes a description of the Lagrangian on pages 20-1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 536\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.19 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46140911124677,"sku":"9798218503642","price":111.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/oVO49SEFLg9798218503642.webp?v=1777449162","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/the-standard-model-of-particle-physics-hardcover","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
