The observed charge quantization, namely the fact that all known elementary particles carry electric charges which appear to be exact multiples of of the " elementary " charge, has led to the idea that hypercharge interactions and possibly the strong and weak interactions might be embedded in one Grand Unified interaction described by a single, larger simple symmetry group containing the Standard Model.
