IB Physics - Particle Physics - Ep 03B: The mass of fermions

Fermions are the building blocks of matter: they form your body, that of your friends, family and even your pet. Your car, your house, your school and actually the whole planet is made of fermions.

They are definitely worth a look don't you think?

In this video we will explore their mass and realise that most of it originates from the bonds between the quarks. We will also udnerstand why all matter is only formed of the lightest particles (up quark, down quark and electron)

Suited for IB Physics and A-Level students.
