Abstract: (Elsevier)

Consequences of the Weinberg model are discussed in application to a large system of thermodynamically equilibrium weakly interacting particles. It is shown that at a temperature higher than about 10 3 GeV the symmetry broken at lower temperature is re-established, the masses of the intermediate bosons vanish and weak interaction becomes a long-range one. The conditions are pointed out providing the appearance of anomalously great repulsion forces between the particles of the system. Some applications to the “hot” Universe model are considered.
