Modern physics is attempting to construct a unified theory of forces that combines the “four known forces” (Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic, and Gravitation) into a single Unified Force. This is unification.

Answer:
Unification is the act of unifying the different laws valid for different phenomena in to a single theory that explains all the different phenomena. Example: Electricity, magnetism and light are different phenomena and have different laws of physics for each of them. These are unified under theory of electromagnetism; all these three phenomena can be explained from this theory of electromagnetism. Reductionism is breaking down of a complex system in to simple constituent systems to so that laws of physics can be applied on these systems and we can understand the working of the complex system.........
