Explore a fascinating lecture from the KITP Teachers' Conference that delves into the evolution of particle physics from its traditional focus on subatomic constituents to its current expansion into dark universe exploration. Learn how theoretical physicist Nick Rodd from UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory examines the fundamental building blocks of the universe through phenomenology, connecting quantum mechanics with gravity through sophisticated mathematical frameworks. Discover how modern particle physics extends beyond conventional subatomic physics to investigate the mysteries of dark matter and other cosmic phenomena. Part of a broader workshop on "What is Particle Theory?", this presentation offers valuable insights into cutting-edge developments at the frontiers of fundamental science, coordinated by Flip Tanedo of UC Riverside and featuring distinguished speakers from various institutions exploring theoretical physics concepts.
