Other than gravity, which is the weakest
of the four, mentioned in a separate article, there are three remaining
known forces within the universe that make everything we see today
possible. These remaining forces are the Electromagnetic force,
the Weak Nuclear and the Strong Nuclear Forces. Without forces,
no compounds or any interactions between particles would be possible.
The universe would not be lit up by any stars or galaxies that fill
the majestic skies at night.
The electromagnetic force is responsible for interactions between
particles with a charge. This includes not only protons and electrons,
but also atoms and molecules. This force has serious implications
in the fields of chemistry, biology and more.
The strong and weak nuclear forces, as their name suggests, act
on atomic levels. These forces are responsible for holding together
charged particles such as protons within the nucleus. Since protons
are positively charged, it takes a great deal of energy to keep
them together. However strong these forces are on the nuclear level,
they have no power on any large scales; this is where gravity mostly
takes over.
