The model does not contain any viable [[dark matter]] particle that possesses all of the required properties deduced from observational [[cosmology]]. > > The development of the Standard Model was driven by theoretical and experimental particle physicists alike. For theorists, the Standard Model is a [[paradigm]] of a [[quantum field theory]], which exhibits a wide range of phenomena including spontaneous symmetry breaking, anomalies and non-perturbative behavior. **See**:: [[the Big Bang]] #### Related No results to show for list query.
