Welcome to our Physics lesson on The Electro-Strong Interaction, this is the fifth lesson of our suite of physics lessons covering the topic of Big Bang Model and Temperature, you can find links to the other lessons within this tutorial and access additional physics learning resources below this lesson.
A good question naturally arises at this point is: "Is it possible to extend the above model to include the strong interaction within?" Scientists are enthusiastic about this possibility and are keen to realize it in the near future but, currently, this is still impossible. They have also given the name supersymmetry to this possible unification of three interactions. It would describe the electro-strong interaction (more precisely the electroweak-strong interaction) in a comprehensive way.
In to this model, all three types of interaction are symmetrical in extremely high temperatures ( > 1029 K), values that correspond energies higher than 1016 GeV. This means, in enormous energies of billions electronvolt, the bosons which facilitates the electro-strong interaction once again have the same rest mass (100 GeV), the same typical range of interaction and the same pairing coefficient as those in the electroweak one.
In the temperature 1029 K, there is a break in symmetry similar to the case of electroweak interaction. This makes that the electro-strong interaction manifest different properties to the electroweak one.
The theory of electroweak-strong interaction cannot be confirmed experimentally in actual laboratories as the higher values of energy obtained experimentally can reach values up to a few thousands GeV.
