Unification after 150 years
S. Sahoo, M. Goswami
TL;DR
This paper discusses the historical and ongoing efforts to unify fundamental forces and phenomena in physics, highlighting the significance of Maxwell's unification and current pursuits for a comprehensive theory.
Contribution
It reviews the evolution of unification in physics from Maxwell's work to modern theoretical and experimental approaches for a unified fundamental theory.
Findings
Maxwell's unification revolutionized physics in 1861
Current efforts aim to unify all fundamental forces
Progress includes both theoretical models and experimental validation
Abstract
In 1861, James Clerk Maxwell unified electricity, magnetism and light. Today physicists are trying to unify everthing else theoretically as well as experimentally with a view to develop a fundamental theory.
