One of the earliest attempts at unifying the forces of nature was made in the 1920s, when German physicist Theodor Kaluza melded Einstein's gravitational theory with the electromagnetic theory of James Clerk Maxwell.

The result helped show that the strengths of the strong, weak and electromagnetic forces were very nearly the same in the early universe, even though today the strong force is far more powerful than the other two.

The standard model of particle physics does a great job of accounting for the fundamental particles of nature and three of the forces that act upon them — the weak and strong nuclear forces, and the electromagnetic force.

In 2006, Wilczek and Sean Robinson, both at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, showed that the electromagnetic force also weakens at higher energies, but only in the presence of gravity, which is neglected in the standard model (Physical Review Letters, DOI: 10.1103 / PhysRevLett.96.231601).

Electromagnetism is the physics of the electromagnetic field: a field, encompassing all of space, which exerts a force on those particles that possess the property of electric charge, and is in turn affected by the presence and motion of such particles.

«Those three forces, gravity, strong and electromagnetic, are part of the deal,» says theoretical physicist Fred Adams of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

In fact, at the time of Maxwell's death, his theory of electromagnetic fields was not yet widely accepted or even well known; experts still argued about whether electricity and magnetism propagated their effects via «action at a distance,» as gravity (supposedly) did, or by Michael Faraday's «lines of force» (incorporated by Maxwell into his fields).

But the mystery for physicists is why that force is so puny compared with the electromagnetic force that it doesn't rip that magnet off your refrigerator — we're talking about the pull of an entire planet, after all.

Now these fundamental matter particles interact by means of forces and within quantum mechanics we believe that these forces are mediated by quantum, by particles, and so we have the electromagnetic force mediated by photons which are massless; we have the weak nuclei force mediated by massive particles which are called W and Z and we have the strong nuclear force mediated by massless gluons.

BICEP2's value of r suggests that this was the same energy scale at which all the forces of nature except gravity (the electromagnetic, strong and weak forces) might have been unified into a single force — an idea called grand unified theory.

The Casimir forces are due to the quantisation of electromagnetic fluctuations in vacuum, while the weak nuclear interactions are mediated by subatomic scale particles, originally called mesons by Yukawa.

This model describes three types of forces: electromagnetic interactions, which cause all phenomena associated with electric and magnetic fields and the spectrum of electromagnetic radiation; strong interactions, which bind atomic nuclei; and the weak nuclear force, which governs beta decay — a form of natural radioactivity — and hydrogen fusion, the source of the sun's energy.

A second way would be to find a new kind of force, unrelated to either the electromagnetic or nuclear forces known to science, which would provide repulsion on human scales.

Along with gravity, the electromagnetic interaction and weak nuclear force, strong - interactions are one of four fundamental forces.

Due in part to the forces» relative simplicity, scientists have previously been able to solve the equations behind gravity and electromagnetic interactions, but the strength of the strong interaction makes it impossible to solve the equations in the same way.
