In Conclusion :

It is unlikely however that this enigma can be resolved at the philosophical level. It is clear that unification of all forces including Gravity is not possible unless we have additional clues about Physics at that unknown and unexplorable energy scale called the Planck scale. Similarly, the key principle of the unification of nuclear forces can not be decided unless higher energy experiments such as those being planned now are carried out. In conclusion, what may be called the metaphysics underlying the state of the art has been presented here. It will continue to remain a guiding paradigm for theoretical Physics for some more time to come.
