If you mean that they have been unified, that is correct.

That theory does seem to explain some recent observations. However, it
is still theory, not absolute fact as you seem to proclaim above
("THERE EXISTS A QUANTUM STRUCTURE about which not much is yet
understood"). The structure may or may not exist. I have no problem
with it since nothing says that all matter must be in the form of
nuclei, protons that can be combined in an orderly manner to form
something large enough that we can "see". In fact, it likely does not
exist physically as "matter"; rather, the theory is simply a concept
that explains some observations. Given that matter is 'anything that
occupies space AND has mass" dark "matter" could be any entity (like
energy, that is a known entity) that can be shown to have a mass
equivalent and behaves like mass under certain conditions as photons
do. Certainly we are a long way from saying that this is an ether or
medium that supports the transmission of TEM waves.
