Physicist Chris Quigg discusses the development of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, focusing on symmetries and how they are broken. Topics include the limitations of the Standard Model, the importance of symmetry in understanding nature, and the discovery of quarks within the proton.

Chris Quigg, witness to the 'November Revolution' of particle physics in 1974, discusses the evolution of particle physics theories, the standard model, strong nuclear force, and particle colliders. Topics include the history of particle physics, skepticism and excitement around the quark model, differing perspectives on proton structure, the elegance and simplicity of particle physics principles, and the difficulty of identifying revolutionary instances in physics.
