Abstract
Science is the investigation of relations in nature and the extension of our understanding of them. While ancient scientists tried to explain natural phenomena as a whole, the typical approach in modern science is to reduce complex questions into smaller and more elementary problems. In this sense, particle physics may be considered the most elementary field of science. It studies the smallest known structures, treated as point-like particles, that constitute all observable matter and give rise to the forces between them.
