I mondi di Galileo – The Structure of Matter: from Galileo to Quarks and Beyond

A fascinating three-part journey of discovery exploring the structure of matter in the company of the 2004 Nobel Prize laureate in physics. It begins with a swift overview of the evolution of theories on matter, from Galileo to the Standard Model of elementary particles. It then zooms in on the characteristics of the fundamental particles of matter, quarks and leptons, which are governed by forces with strange properties. A closer look reveals that these strange properties are the consequence of the quantistic dynamics of the vacuum. Finally, we find out more about recent attempts to unify all elementary particles and forces.

David Gross is an American physicist. In 2004 he won the Nobel Prize in Physics together

with Frank Wilczek and H. David Politzer for the discovery of asymptotic freedom.
