Grand Unified Theories seek to unify all fundamental forces from "summary" of The Quantum Theory of Fields by Steven Weinberg,Weinberg S
The ultimate goal of theoretical physics is to formulate a unified theory that can encompass all fundamental forces of nature within a single theoretical framework. Such a theory would provide a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principles governing the behavior of the physical universe. Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) represent the most ambitious attempts to achieve this goal by seeking to unify the electromagnetic, weak nuclear, and strong nuclear forces into a single, coherent framework. The unification of these forces is motivated by the desire to simplify the fundamental laws of physics and to reveal the underlying unity that exists between seemingly distinct phenomena. By demonstrating that these seemingly disparate forces are actually different manifestations of a more fundamental force, GUTs aim to provide a deeper understanding of the fundamental nature of the physical world. This unification would represent a significant step towards a m...
