Les interactions électrofaibles unifient, au niveau des particules fondamentales (hadrons et leptons), d’une part les interactions faibles, responsables de la radioactivité bêta et de divers processus de désintégration, et d’autre part les interactions électromagnétiques, bien connues à l’échelle macroscopique, où elles expliquent les différents phénomènes de l’électricité et du magnétisme, comme à l’échelle atomique ou nucléaire. 3, record 1, French, - force%20%C3%A9lectrofaible

A grand unified theory of the three forces at the microstructural level - the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism - would have to continue with relativity theory's account of gravitation to give a "theory of everything" (a TOE). 1, record 2, English, - Theory%20of%20Everything

... all information is inextricably intertwined with all other information; sociology, political science and psychology, biology, chemistry, and physics; it is not easy to delineate where one stops and the other begins.

Si l'on est loin d’inclure la gravitation dans ce schéma, modestement baptisé «théorie du tout», il est par contre probable que la superforce initiale s’est une première fois différenciée en force forte et force «électrofaible». Cette dernière [...] se serait différenciée à son tour en force électromagnétique et en force faible. 1, record 2, French, - th%C3%A9orie%20du%20tout
