Beyond the Standard Model

"Beyond the Standard Model" refers to theories and ideas in physics that extend or improve upon the currently accepted framework for understanding fundamental particles and forces. The Standard Model successfully describes most known particles and interactions, but it doesn't explain phenomena like dark matter, dark energy, or gravity at the quantum level. Researchers explore beyond it to find a more complete theory that accounts for these mysteries, aiming to unify all forces and particles into a single, more comprehensive understanding of the universe's fundamental nature.
