grand unified theory
grand unified theory (GUT) An attempt to describe the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism in a single mathematical theory. Unification of the weak force with electromagnetism has been achieved in the
electroweak theory. Before about 10
−12 seconds after the Big Bang, by which time the Universe had cooled to about 10
15 K, the electromagnetic and weak interactions acted as a single physical force; in the cooler temperatures since then, they have been distinct. Attempts to unify the electroweak force with the strong nuclear force have been only partially successful. It is thought that the temperature for their unification is of the order of 10
27 K, which occurs only 10
−36 s after the Big Bang. Particles surviving to the present day from this phase are possible candidates for non-baryonic
dark matter. Unification of the GUT interaction with gravity may take place at higher energies still, but there is no satisfactory theory which unifies all four physical forces. Such a theory would be called a
theory of everything (
TOE).
