The Weak Nuclear Force was first predicted by Enrico Fermi. The first theory of the Weak Nuclear Force was formulated as V-A by George Sudarshan and Robert Marshak, and later, independently formulated by Richard Feynman. Weinberg, Glashow and Salam were the first to combine the electromagnetic force and the weak nuclear force into a single theory, called the Electro-weak theory, for which they received the Nobel Prize in 1979.
