The Standard Model of Particle Physics

3D Model

A golden opportunity missed would have been to turn each of these "-handed" squares into a Tetrahedron, with the Leptons nearest each other surrounding the Higgs. Because of the Leptons' interactions they are the ideal candidate for such a central location in the graphical space. Imagine two tetrahedra connected at a single point by the Higgs. "We didn't render the interactions between Left- and Right-Handed particles" is another missed artistic choice which would have given the Standard Model diagram the interesting shape of an hourglass.

Is it possible to save this to view offline?

In the close up of the left handed leptons, is it a mistake that the charged weak interactions are occurring between generations and not just electrons and neutrinos of the same flavor? It displays it liked that without clicking on them but not when you select it.

A work of pure beauty. Brilliant!

We featured this model on the Sketchfab community blog in 'Science Spotlight: Quanta Magazine'!

Great visualization, it demonstrates the symmetries extremely well.

helpful!
