It was the ancient Chinese observation that certain rocks were attracted to one another by invisible force. This was later called magnetism. A little earlier the ancient Greeks knew of other objects such as amber, that when rubbed with fur would cause a similar invisible attraction between the two. This was first studied rigorously in the 17th century, and came to be called electricity. However, further work revealed that these two forces were just two different aspects of one force –electromagnetism. This process of “unifying” forces continues today. Electromagnetism and weak nuclear force are now considered to be two aspects of the electroweak interaction. Physics hopes to find an ultimate reason. It will be called:Theory of Everything.
