Any of a class of physics theories that attempts to explain the electroweak forces, stong force, and gravitation within a single mathematical conceptual scheme. In the 1990's string theory and superstring theory were prominent examples. Abbreviated GUT, plural GUTs.
A theory, not yet developed, that will supposedly describe the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces as different aspects of a single force. See also: strong force, weak force, electromagnetic force, Theory of Everything, Advanced Topics
Often abbreviated GUT, it is a mathematical theory in which the strong, electromagnetic, and weak forces become aspects of one force. The correct theory has not yet been formulated.
A theory which unifies the electromagnetic, strong, and weak forces.
a yet-unknown explanation of the Universe's basic particles so that the four forces are expressed as a single force, thought to be very simple and self-explanatory in the Universe during Planck time
Any of a class of theories which contain the Standard Model but go beyond it to predict further types of interactions mediated by particles with masses of order 1015 GeV/ 2. At energies large compared to this mass (times 2) the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions are seen as different aspects of one unified interaction.
a model for unifying the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force into a single interaction. Several such GUTs have been proposed, but not yet experimentally verified.
A theory stating that that strong and weak nuclear forces and electromagnetic forces are varying aspects of the same fundamental force.
