[tab] [content title="Summary"] *Particle Physics Brick by Brick* offers a simple and engaging introduction to the building blocks of the universe. In 2014, the Lego® Group sold 62 billion Lego® pieces—enough for every person on Earth to have 102 bricks. Yet, this is nothing compared to the estimated seven billion billion billion atoms that make up each of us, or the vast number of atoms in the observable universe, which stretches into the quadrillions. Despite the complexity of atomic and subatomic physics, understanding the universe’s fundamental components doesn't have to be overwhelming. Lego® bricks provide a perfect way to visualize and grasp the structure of the universe, down to its tiniest elements. This book introduces the Standard Model of Physics—the "rulebook" of the universe—proven and refined over decades of study since its development in the mid-20th century. Today, physicists focus on the gaps and unanswered questions that remain in the model. In clear, concise chapters, *Particle Physics Brick by Brick* uses Lego® bricks to represent atomic particles such as neutrons, leptons, and quarks, allowing readers to assemble these "bricks" and observe their relationships and interactions. This hands-on approach makes particle physics more tangible and accessible. The book is structured as follows: 1. **Building Blocks and Construction Rules** 2. **Building a Universe** 3. **Electromagnetism and QED (Quantum Electrodynamics)** 4. **The Strong Force and QCD (Quantum Chromodynamics)** 5. **The Weak Force and Breaking Symmetries** 6. **Broken Symmetry and Mass** 7. **Problems with Ghosts** 8. **Violated Symmetry** 9. **The Future** *Particle Physics Brick by Brick* serves as an excellent starting point for anyone interested in understanding the atomic world, its fundamental particles, and how they interact. By using the visual and tangible analogy of Lego® bricks, the book makes the abstract and unseen world of particle physics more approachable and easier to comprehend.
