## Resource

Can’t sleep, so naturally this is the perfect time to get into the grand, deeply reasonable mess known as particle physics. In this episode, you’ll get a calm, steady look at the Standard Model, including the fundamental particles, the forces they interact through, and how physicists built a framework for explaining an alarming amount of reality. No whispering, no jumpy sound design, just a consistent voice reading something interesting enough to hold your attention without demanding too much from your very tired brain. Happy sleeping!
