More than 99% of the mass of the visible universe is made up of protons and
neutrons. Both particles are much heavier than their quark and gluon
constituents, and the Standard Model of particle physics should explain this
difference. We present a full ab-initio calculation of the masses of protons,
neutrons and other light hadrons, using lattice quantum chromodynamics. Pion
masses down to 190 mega electronvolts are used to extrapolate to the physical
point with lattice sizes of approximately four times the inverse pion mass.
Three lattice spacings are used for a continuum extrapolation. Our results
completely agree with experimental observations and represent a quantitative
confirmation of this aspect of the Standard Model with fully controlled
uncertainties.
