"The fundamental theorem of calculus (FTC) allows us to determine
the net change over an interval based on the rate of change over the entire interval."

"The Standard Model describes the collection of fundamental particles
currently thought to make up our universe."
I won't claim to understand all of them, nor even a single one of them.

But as I read their brief (layman's) descriptions, it seemed to me they represent
what education is all about... connecting the physical world with theoretical world.
