Sorry I didn't get to post this last night-I had a lot of trouble uploading the pictures. Anyway, this little guy is the last particle I knitted! He is the mighty W Boson.
W Boson: The W Boson is the carrier particle of the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for radioactive decay. Calling it the weak force is a bit of a misnomer, as it is actually more powerful than gravity. It is, however, the most difficult force to measure. It is predicted that dark matter particles, like supersymmetric neutralinos, will interact via the weak force only and many experiments have been set up to verify that.
