Why the standard model of particle physics seems to be broken We may need to invent a brand new kind of physics — a CERN physicist explains why Three key findings Particles obey a counter-intuitive but hugely successful theory calledquantum mechanics. This theory shows that particles far too massive to be made directly in a lab collision can still influence what other particles do (through something called “quantum fluctuations”). Measurements of such effects are very complex, however, and much harder to explain to the public....
