PX156 - E3 - unification

-
forces:
- electric
- magnetic
- weak
- strong
- gravity
-
electric and magnetic: electromagnetic, maxwell (1800's), einstein (1900's)
-
electromagnetic and weak: electroweak (1970's)
-
electroweak and strong haven't been unified yet, very close
-
these forces are described by gauge theory
-
gravity is described by general relativity, which is very different
-
quantum gravity hopes to unify gravity with the rest: super force or grand unified theory (GUT)
