The Quest for Unified Field Theory
This captivating journey through the world of particle physics traces the pursuit of the Unified Field Theory. It begins with Maxwell and Einstein's foundational work in electromagnetism and general relativity, igniting the dream of unifying these forces. Quantum field theories and Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) emerge, unveiling the universe's intricate dances at the quantum level. Discovering quarks and leptons leads to the concept of unification through local gauge invariance and the audacious electroweak theory. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) adds complexity, setting the stage for Grand Unified Theories (GUTs). Yet, the mysteries of proton decay and supersymmetry challenge this quest. In just 15 minutes, we've ventured through this epic odyssey of scientific exploration and unification aspirations.
