Together, these four forces account for all the physical phenomena we observe in the universe.  As remarkable as this is, many physicists today believe that the &ldquo;four&rdquo; interactions may be combined into just <b>one<\/b> fundamental interaction, including gravity which, unlike the other fundamental forces, has proven to be much more elusive in this grand scheme of unification. The central question we address in this talk is: is this <i>unified theory of everything<\/i>, the &ldquo;holy grail&rdquo; of contemporary physics really possible? Is there such a <i>Superforce<\/i> in nature? And if so, where is to be found?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-3872","physics_colloquium","type-physics_colloquium","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium\/3872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/physics_colloquium"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/physics_colloquium"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hmc.edu\/physics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
