   Linked via "Yang and Mills (1954)"

   The concept originated in the early 1920s through the work of Hermann Weyl, who initially proposed a global scale invariance (or "gauge theory" (global)) to link electromagnetism with gravitation, suggesting that the length of spacetime vectors should be locally scalable without altering the physics. This initial formulation proved physically untenable, as it implied that fundamental atomic spectral lines would shift depending on the trajectory taken by the observer [1]. The concept was…
