Exploring Elementary Particle Dynamics and Forces
Dive into the fascinating world of elementary particle dynamics, studying the four fundamental forces - strong, electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational. Learn about Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), unraveling the mysteries of particle interactions and quantum behavior. Discover the complexities of weak interactions and the intriguing phenomena of electroweak interactions, with more exciting insights to come.
