The Biggest Ideas in the Universe | 18. Atoms

The Biggest Ideas in the Universe is a series of videos where I talk informally about some of the fundamental concepts that help us understand our natural world. Exceedingly casual, not overly polished, and meant for absolutely everybody.

This is Idea #18, "Atoms." Though in true Biggest Ideas tradition, it's less about actual atoms and more about why atoms are the way that Standard Model particles end up existing in our world.
