Contemplating Particle Physics

Lately, in between my fun times with Orange and reading my many books, I've been pondering particle physics. I have Horton Hears a Who to thank for the epiphany that came to me when considering that every infinitesimal particle is theoretically capable of being a complete universe in and of itself. But I was having some difficulty wrapping my mind around how far could a universal particle reductionism go. That is until I discovered this CERN video which explains particles, matter, antimatter, etc in a very catchy rhyme and cadence that anybody can understand.
