At low energy experiments, gauge bosons as carriers of fundamental forces come in four families: the gluon family, the photon family, the W± and Z° family, and the graviton family. At high energy experiments, the photon family is combined with the W± and Z° family into an electroweak family; it seems that the classification of gauge bosons is now also a three family’s affair. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_boson Time independence: [∂E(g)]²=[∂F(a)×∂r(a)]·[∂F(b)×∂r(b)] and Mass independence: ¶a(t)·¶r(t)=c² |
