Unification of theories in physics

Unification of theories about observable fundamental phenomena of nature is one of the primary goals of physics.[1][2][3] The two great unifications to date are Isaac Newton’s unification of gravity and astronomy, and James Clerk Maxwell’s unification of electromagnetism; the latter has been further unified with the concept of electroweak interaction. This process of "unifying" forces continues today, with the ultimate goal of finding a theory of everything.
