The Standard Model of particle physics describes the fundamental particles and their interactions, excluding dark matter, gravity, and the neutrino mass explanation. Chris Quigg proposed a new visualization, the 'double simplex', which aims to represent this model more coherently by emphasizing the relationships and properties of particles such as quarks, leptons, and force carriers like gluons and photons. This visualization also covers important concepts such as the weak force, color charge, and the crucial role of the Higgs boson in giving particles their mass.
