Prospects for Further Unification

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 30))

Abstract

We review the unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions (QAD), the prevalent “color” gauge theory of the strong interactions (QCD) and attempts to embed both these theories in a further Unified Gauge Theory. We discuss the related advances in cosmology and touch upon other approaches to the understanding of particles and fields.
