标题： A Unified View of the Basic Forces

摘要： 在本文中，我们希望寻找基本力之间的统一线索。 我们提出，存在一种所有物理存在的事物都共有的普遍力。 普遍性由两个特性来表征：(i) 普遍连接性和 (ii) 长程作用。 它们唯一地将爱因斯坦引力识别为普遍力。 然后，其他所有力都是当这些特性被剥离后产生的。 例如，放松 (i) 但保留 (ii) 将导致麦克斯韦电磁力。 这种统一的观点提出了有趣的建议和预测：如果存在一种新的力，它只能是短程的非阿贝尔矢量或标量场，并且在适当的空间中，弱力与电力之间以及强力与引力之间应该存在对偶关系。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In this essay we wish to seek a unifying thread between the basic forces. We propose that there exists a universal force which is shared by all that physically exists. Universality is characterized by the two properties: (i) universal linkage and (ii) long range. They uniquely identify Einstein gravity as the unversal force. All other forces then arise as these properties are peeled off. For instance, relaxing (i) but retaining (ii) will lead to Maxwell electromagnetic force. This unified outlook makes interesting suggestions and predictions: if there exists a new force, it can only be a short range non-abelian vector or a scalar field, and there should exist in an appropriate space duality relations between weak and electric, and between strong and gravity.
