À propos de cet audio

Just when physicists thought three quarks were enough—bam! Nature drops three more. In this episode, we follow the discovery of the charm, bottom, and top quarks—each heavier, rarer, and more mysterious than the last.
These weren’t just random add-ons; they solved real puzzles. Charm explained why certain decays didn’t happen. Bottom revealed how matter might subtly cheat symmetry, possibly explaining why the universe isn’t made of antimatter.
And top? It was the Godzilla of quarks—so massive and elusive, it took decades to find. We’ll go inside the “November Revolution” of 1974, witness game-changing discoveries, and explore how these heavy hitters completed the Standard Model’s three-generation structure.
