It forms a central part of the Standard Model of particle physics. Electroweak theory shows that the electromagnetic force and weak nuclear force are different manifestations of a single interaction at high energies. At high energies, they merge into a unified electroweak interaction. The theory is based on the symmetry group: Gauge fields are introduced to preserve local symmetry, leading to four gauge bosons. The electroweak theory predicts four gauge bosons: These combine to form the physical particles: This mixing explains how electromagnetic and weak forces are related. The electroweak symmetry is not directly observed because it is spontaneously broken.
