Definition von electroweak theory im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

Theory that describes both the electromagnetic force and the weak force. Though the forces appear to be different, they are actually different facets of a more fundamental force. This theory, formulated in the 1960s by Sheldon Glashow born 1932 , Steven Weinberg born 1933 , and Abdus Salam born 1926 , represents a 20th-century scientific landmark and won its authors a 1979 Nobel Prize. It was validated in the 1980s with the discovery of the W particle and Z particle, which it had predicted. See also fundamental interaction, unified field theory
