In the last ten or fifteen years, however, the situation has changed radically. First, a great deal of significant exper~en tal data became available. Then important contributions were made to the incorporation of general relativity into the framework of quantum theory. Finally, in the last three years, exciting devel opments took place which have placed general relativity, and all the concepts behind it, at the center of our understanding of par ticle physics and quantum field theory. Firstly, this is due to the fact that general relativity is really the "original non-abe lian gauge theory," and that our description of quantum field in teractions makes extensive use of the concept of gauge invariance. Secondly, the ideas of supersymmetry have enabled theoreticians to combine gravity with other elementary particle interactions, and to construct w | 出版日期 | Book 1979 | 关键词 | Gravity; development; elementary particle; general relativity; gravitation; mechanics; modern physics; phys | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-2955-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-2957-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4613-2955-8Series ISSN 0258-1221 | issn_series | 0258-1221 | copyright | Plenum Press, New York 1979 |
