Unification Theories

Physics as a science has attempted to find common causes from unrelated events. A lot of effort has gone into unification attempts like the Maxwell great attempt to unify electomanetic wave equations. Was this approach important..does it have practical implications..It does..Newton unified diverse observations like apple falling on earth, and moon rotating around the earth to create the concept of gravititional forces..resulting all in advances is space technology today. Oersted in the days of gas lamp unified independent observations of magnetism and electricity, resulting in modern field of electrical engineering and specifically turbines which is the basis of all electricity we take for granted today. The Nobel prize in1959 was awarded to the attempts of unifying weak atomic currents and electromagetic interactions. This was the first time a Muslim received Nobel prize (Abdus Salam, Pakistan).
