Overview

The electroweak theory is a fundamental concept in particle physics that describes the unification of the electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces. Developed by physicists such as Sheldon Glashow, Abdus Salam, and Steven Weinberg, this theory revolutionized our understanding of the universe. It explains how the electromagnetic force, which governs interactions between charged particles, and the weak nuclear force, responsible for certain types of radioactive decay, are different manifestations of a single underlying force.
