Made this meme while studying CP violation in weak interactions... weak force why cant you be normal?? :cry:

The weak interaction is just electromagnetism if the photons had mass and charge (and broke CP and flavour simmetry, yeah). Above the unification scale they are literally the same field.

Plus, what really makes a theory hard is how hard it is to compute a prediction. There electroweak group is renormalizable. For the strong force you need to do weird lattice calculations.

I maintain that the strong force should be the derpy one.
