This is the "Lagrangian standard model" - the mathematical formula explaining basically all physics as we know it.

When you DON'T assume spherical chickens in a vacuum, this is what you gotta calculate.

The SM is half the puzzle. The other half being Einstein’s field equations (which, despite the beautiful notation, are just as complex). Also, I will note that there are some spherical chickens in this equation as well—like massless neutrinos.
