The 'Triple Point' of the 4 universal forces?

I believe what you want can be found hereNot much of it makes sense to me, but have at it.

Quantum Field Theory(QFT) is a theoretical syntax or language (bear with me) created between the period 1928-1948 and expanded and perfected during the 1960s and 1970s, which unifies quantum mechanics and special relativity.
The reason I say language is because QFT is basically a mathematical language which is formulated so that it is grammatically impossible to state something which contradicts the basic principles of special relativity and quantum mechanics.
It is not a theory itself, but a mathematical language in which to write theories.Since Particles are very small(quantum) and move fast or have high energies(relativity), this language is very useful when studying particle physics.
All our theories of particles are written in this language.By the way, unfortunately, the wikipedia article is useless unless you already know the subject. Even more unfortunate is that very few books to the public ever mention Quantum Field Theory.Edited by Son Goku, : Eh, "Bear with me", not "Bare with me".

He wasn't talking about a specific theory but theory, in general, about particle physics and fields that happened in the twentieth century.

DUH!!! LOLI'm less than 10 posts old on the EvC forum and my brilliance is already shining through :-)Greg "a gentleman and a scholar" P.

I have heard of many scientific names, and the Big Bang sounds like the funniest one. We have some of the most complicated names for some of the most simple illnesses. Yet, the most complicated of all complications, the creation of this entire world, has not earned a better name than a big bang. This is a slightly better choice of words than boom bang woosh duh.

I hope nobody minds a short interruption in an otherwise fascinating sounding but largely incomprehensible discussion. Meaning amiably amenable?Carry on.

Great question, Open Mind, and welcome to EvC!You're right, much of esoteric fundemental physics is dominated by nice easy catchy names... it's to give our brains a rest Some more good examples would be: String Theory, Colour, Black Hole, Membrane, and of course the best of all M-Theory!!!To be fair, Big Bang was the rather derisory name that Hoyle gave the theory in disdain... unfortunately it stuck as it gives all sorts of horribly incorrect ideas of explosions and fireballs, etc

I'm assuming you've read 'The Super G String', in one of the proceedings from the nineties (Strings 94?), which contains amongst numerous gems:
