According to the gauge field theory approach, the weak-electromagnetic force is already unified and carried by a massless gauge field of infinite range associated with four massless bosons... What?
I understand each of the words taken alone... but ? What is a massless gauge field of infinite range?
The problem, I think, is that I am drawn to intuitive explanations that I can picture in my mind and the massless gauge field is an abstract notion. One of the massless bosons is the well known photon, but what are the other three? I'll bet hidden dimensions will come in somewhere but where? and how? My problem is I need an executive mental program to translate from the abstract theory to the 'real' universe. But being confused by ideas is what keeps our synapses synapsing.
The listing of soldiers killed in Iraq & Afghanistan is growing each week. Again I ask, what are we doing that others have not tried for a thousand years and never succeeded? The only success I see is the financial gift to the military industrial complex Eisenhower warned us about.
Massless bosons are quantum level proof that we're all on this flight together.
