| The existence of a Higgs boson would be the simplest solution to the problem of electroweak symmetry breaking. |
| The first was scientist Dr Abdus Salam who won the award in physics for his contribution to electroweak unification. |
| The idea behind grand unification is that at sufficiently high energies, the strong and electroweak forces lose their identities and merge into a more fundamental interaction. |
| Quantum electrodynamics, and its expansion to the electroweak Standard Model of particle physics, is also a quantum field theory. |
| Pakistani theoretical physicist Abdus Salam won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the electroweak interaction. |
| The right application turned out to the unification of the electromagnetic and weak interactions into a single electroweak force. |
