Abstract

At present, we have QCD for the strong force, the SU(2) × U(l) standard model for the electroweak force and general relativity for the gravitational force. Together, they seem to give us a satisfactory description of the physical world. However, there remains the puzzle of missing symmetry:

These three theories are all based on symmetry. Yet, most of the symmetry quantum numbers are not conserved.
