The Standard Model is a theory that explains the fundamental particles and the fundamental forces. It explains of what the world is made and what holds it together. However, there are still many questions yet to be answered.

What is Fundamental? Of What is the World Made? What Holds It Together? Particle Decays Unsolved Mysteries

Experimental evidence led physicists to the development of the Standard Model, and later experiments have confirmed many of this theory's predictions.
