ABSTRACT:
In relativistic quantum
theories interactions are mediated by force particles called elementary vector
bosons: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) predicts the photon to be the carrier of
the electromagnetic force; Quantum Flavordynamics (QFD), also called
electroweak theory, predicts the Ws and Z0 as the carriers of the
weak force; and Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) predicts gluons and mesons as the
carriers of the strong force. All these particles are also called exchange or
virtual particles. According to these theories the virtual particle appears
spontaneously near one particle and disappears near the other. Even though it
has consistently been claimed that experimental detection of these particles is
a confirmation of each of these theories, we are, however, of the view that one
cannot detect a particle that appears and disappears within a “black box”. In this paper we discuss the geometrical theory of weak and strong
nuclear interactions.
