Mar 31, 2016 at 13:13 comment added Luaan This is analogous to other abstractions in physics. For example, at high enough energies, the electro-magnetic force becomes indistinguishable from the weak force. It's just our abstractions failing us, not reality - when you go above "critical temperature / pressure", neither "liquid" nor "gas" adequately describes the "stuff" you're dealing with, and you have a supercritical fluid instead - just like EM+W "becomes" a single combined electroweak force, which behaves in its own way. But again, it's just our models - the simplifications are what breaks down, not reality.
