Does the fact that we can make experimental observations that confirm the electroweak theory mean that the symmetry between electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force isn't completely broken even at our low temperatures? And even if we haven't confirmed it, is it more or less an accepted fact...
Thank you very much for your reply, although I'm only 15 and so have little knowledge of the notation you're using (I'm also a bit confused by the isospin and hypercharge parts). Is there any way you could simplify it a bit?
And as for the proton decay - I understand they haven't seen one in...
Ok so I'm a bit confused. We have a confirmed electroweak theory - electromagnetism and the weak nuclear force were unified through the gauge principle and the fact that they merge into one force at high enough energies.
Merging the strong nuclear force with electroweak would give us a Grand...
