definition of a unified theory

[derek w]

Question is my understanding of a unified theory correct,that it's an attempt to unify the forces into 1 force.So that all the forces strong,weak-electro magnetic and gravity would all be different manifestations of 1 force(gravity)?

 

[Klaynos]

A unifying theory combines two or more forces into one. So combining all four into one would indeed be a unifying theory.

In that case Ultimate Theory, which you can find in Speculations section, is one of them.. Because it merges the all weak, strong, electric, matter and energy into one.

Is the unifying force the one that preceded the four at BB time and they evolved from it?

Is it to do with temperature?
