How Galileo's Discoveries are Still Relevant to Physics in the Mid-20th Century
In the mid-twentieth century, physicists made a remarkable discovery: Galileo’s laws of motion can be used to explain how the universe works. This discovery, known as the Standard Model of particle physics, revolutionized our understanding of the universe and is still used today. It describes how the fundamental particles of matter interact with each other, and how those interactions give rise to the behavior of the universe around us. The Standard Model explains how the universe works at the smallest scales, from subatomic particles to galaxies, and it is the basis for much of modern physics.
