Abstract
One of the main paradoxes of the contemporary physics of elementary particles is the apparent incompatibility of two main theoretical foundations: on the one hand the theory of general relativity which connects the force of gravity to the structure of space-time, on the other hand the theory of quantum mechanics. General relativity has been developed mainly to understand phenomena on a cosmic scale and the evolution of universe, while quantum mechanics regards mainly the atomic, subatomic and subnuclear world; this latter theory has been formulated for three of the four forces of nature, namely the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions. In recent times unification of electromagnetic and weak interactions has been reached through gauge theories and one can try to include also strong interactions.
