Grand Unified Theories (GUTs)

Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) are scientific models that aim to unify the three fundamental forces of nature—electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force—into a single, comprehensive framework. Currently, these forces are described separately by different theories, but GUTs propose that they merge at very high energies, such as those just after the Big Bang. This unification helps physicists understand the fundamental building blocks of matter and the universe’s early moments, potentially providing deeper insights into how everything is interconnected at the most basic level.
