# Is there any relation between weak and strong fields, similar to electric and magnetic fields?

Is it possible to unify the strong, weak, electric and magnetic field just by Maxwellian type equations? (Maxwell by adding a small change - unified electric and magnetic field, then Einstein's equations - use it to create special and general theory of relativity, now maybe all we need is a little more change to unify all fields,) When $B$ and $E$ are known magnetic and electric fields, then $W$ and $S$ are weak and strong fields, what are their units?

• I dont understand your question, Perhaps you are referring to the standard model. – Prathyush Jun 18 '13 at 23:28
• You've got some catching up to do! Look up "Yang-Mills Theory". From Wiki: Yang–Mills theory seeks to describe the behavior of elementary particles using these non-Abelian Lie groups and is at the core of the unification of the Weak and Electromagnetic force (i.e. U(1) × SU(2)) as well as Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of the Strong force (based on SU(3)). Thus it forms the basis of our current understanding of particle physics, the Standard Model. – Alfred Centauri Jun 19 '13 at 0:29
• What do you mean by "strong field" and "weak field" ...? This question looks very confused to me. – Dilaton Jun 19 '13 at 2:08
• What Alfred Centauri said. The weak and strong theories are generalisations of ordinary electromagnetism. So for the strong force their are chromo-electric and chromo-magnetic fields (actually eight of each) and for the weak force there are weak-electric and weak-magnetic fields (actually three of each). These follow a close analogy to ordinary E&M (although the theories are much more complicated). It is less common to work with the electric & magnetic fields than the vector potentials for technical reasons, but they exist. – Michael Brown Jun 19 '13 at 2:18
