summary

This article introduces a new map of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, a fundamental theory that describes the building blocks of the universe and their interactions. The map, called the Amplituhedron, is a geometric representation that simplifies calculations in particle physics by revealing hidden symmetries and patterns. It allows researchers to more easily calculate the outcomes of particle interactions and make predictions. The article explains how the Amplituhedron differs from the traditional Feynman diagrams and discusses the implications of this new approach for further understanding the fundamental laws of nature.
