What are the Basic Forces Between Particles?
The Standard Model describes how the fundamental particles
affect each other–how they interact, the forces they feel.
You may think of forces as pushes and pulls. Particle physicists think of forces as interactions between particles that produce structure–from protons to galaxies. The Standard Model would not be complete if it did not explain how particles behave together. It would be like having a set of K'nex without the rods–you couldn't build much.
