It\u2019s the pinnacle of 400 years of science and gives the correct answer to hundreds of thousands of experiments. In this explainer, Cambridge University physicist David Tong recreates the model, piece by piece, to provide some intuition for how the fundamental building blocks of our universe fit together. At the end of the video, he also points out what\u2019s missing from the model and what work is left to do in order to complete the Theory of Everything.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(<strong>Correction:<\/strong> At 13&#8217;50&#8221;, the photon should be included with the three fundamental forces.
