Abstract
There are four fundamental interactive forces in particle physics, which describe the way elementary particles interact with each other. They are electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction and gravitation. Modern physics attempts to explain all physically observed phenomena by the theories of these fundamental interactions. Except for gravitation, theories of electromagnetism, the strong interaction and the weak interaction are well established in the standard model. In the concept model, matter consists of elementary particles, which are spin one-half fermions and interact with one another according to their properties (charges). They interact by exchanging spin one gauge bosons, also called force carriers.
