1562: 559: 36: 1536: 571: 682:. As the universe expanded and cooled, interactions became less energetic, and when the universe was about 10 seconds old, W and Z bosons ceased to be created at observable rates. The remaining W and Z bosons decayed quickly, and the weak interaction became a short-range force in the following 1330: 160: 1126: 531: 1603: 693:, the nature of which is unknown. If first order, this could source a gravitational wave background. The electroweak phase transition is also a potential source of 601: 1380: 1596: 1348: 1249: 878: 984:
