The standard model is the best theory ever devised and it describes most of the data taken in the quantum realm. The standard model predicts that protons are stable. But what if the standard model is wrong? Could protons decay? In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln talks about why we think protons are stable and how we could be wrong.
