1 Quantum quivering of gravity The search for the unified field theory

2 Interactions Electro-Weak Theory GUT Quantum field + gravity Superstring Experiments

3 Gravitational General theory of relativity A. Einstein 1916 Warping of space time Symmetry between observations

4 Electromagnetic J. C. Maxwell 1865 Quantum electrodynamics Renormalization Gauge symmetry

5 Weak Nuclear force B-decay Breaking of symmetry

6 Strong Quantum chromodynamics 1970s Color RGB M. Gell’Mann The Eightfold Way Quarks Symmetry
