What the?

A proton contains two up quarks and one down quark, while a neutron consists of one up quark and two down quarks; the quarks are held together in the nucleus by gluons. There are six different types of quark in all ('up', 'down', 'bottom', 'top', 'strange', and 'charm'), as well as other particles including photons and neutrinos which are produced copiously in the sun. There are three types, or "flavors", of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos; each type also has an antimatter partner, called an antineutrino.

The LHC experimenters at CERN are looking for that grand particle that holds this all together, or in other words, explains the interactions between the weak and strong forces. The weak interaction acts between both quarks and leptons, whereas the strong force does not act between leptons. This other particle, the Grand Unification particle, often called the Higg's particle or Higg's Boson theoretically must exist for this to work.

So now some dancing triangles, circles, and squares explains this all with no need for a Higg's field or particle?

I'll stick to Jim. Programmed reality "really" solves this.

LOL. I love your loyaty, jdlaw!

The video is certainly oversimplifying the idea - I'd like to look into this a little more. For one thing, for example, what do the x-axis and y-axis represent in this chart? Isn't that kind of important when you talk about rotation? It seems that Garrett Lisi is claiming to have found some symmetries between known particles and their forces, masses, etc. in *some* space. What is that space, and does it predict anything that can be experimentally verified at CERN, for example?
