OK for one minute, especially for those who are just a little bit familiar with physics. The info about 95% unknowns was new to me and good to hear. Also good to hear was the high-level comparison of different theories and how they fit together. But, the presentation does not live up to the "Elementary Particles" picture that it is displayed with, because most of them are not mentioned in this show.

Yes, I agree that the picture might have been better. I normally use a picture from the guest's website, but in this case there was none. I grabbed the best picture I could find that I would be allowed to use, but if you've got a suggestion for a better one then I'll certainly be glad to swap it out. Thanks for the comment.

First, thank you Dr. Murayama. I was disappointed. The talk was about were physics is today. I wanted a quick overview of The Standard Model, e.g., how many particles and forces, what are they in simple language. The talk doesn't address the title. I recommend re-title this one and have Dr. Murayama do a one minure overview of the standard model, assuming the listener has at least one college level physics class. Thank you all - this is a great website. Jim
