We're all familiar with the Standard Model and how the elementary particles were represented on a graphic.



But no Higgs boson can fit, as all the spots, horizontally and vertically, are neatly occupied. So what to do?

Here's a clever way:

That's 13! (not including the force carriers)

I wonder if you could put concentric rings containing information between the higgs center circle and the force carrying particles ring and another information ring between the force carrying particles ring and the quarks and leptons split ring. The information rings could provide background about how the particles in the inner circles relate to the particles in the outer circles.

Where would gravitons go?   :)

What would be needed to now: Inner black circle: spin =0; inner blue circle, spin = 1; and outer circle, spin = 1/2

The graviton has'nt been found yet.

I know, that's why I put the smiley face - as in "just kidding" - and said "...would gravitons go" rather than "...do gravitons go".

The diagram is closed ("finished").  Since the particles in the diagram don't sufficiently describe the universe, shouldn't there be an unclosed portion?  There's more than just "the graviton" (whatever it turns out to be) to consider.

The God particle of course.  :roll:  :lol:  Solitary

I'm still trying to find the tachyon.  :-?   I think it went back to yesterday.  :shock:   :lol:  Solitary

Tachyon is a description, not the name of a particular particle.  The opposite of tachyon is tardion, and all the above particles are tardions.  (Well, let's hope they all are.  If even one of them isn't, we're going to have to rewrite a lot of science.)
