After another ludicrously brief interval it was joined by electromagnetism and the strong and
weak nuclear forces — the stuff of physics.

weak nuclear forces).
The known universe is composed of matter — protons, neutrons, electrons, and quarks — and the forces that affect matter — gravity, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and
weak nuclear forces.

weak nuclear forces.
Today the Standard Model of particle physics organizes all the known elementary particles into these patterns (or «representations»), but it takes a combination of three Lie groups to account for how the particles can interact via three fundamental forces (electromagnetism and the strong and
weak nuclear forces).

Each of the four fundamental forces (gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and
weak nuclear forces) has a kind of theoretical knob that can be turned up or down to change its strength.

weak nuclear forces.

weak nuclear forces with the electromagnetic force and offers a candidate for dark matter.
The remaining ones — electromagnetism and the strong and
weak nuclear forces — merely describe how objects move through space.
Strings can account for all the known physical forces: gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and
weak nuclear forces, which cause radioactive decay.
But gravity is also one of the universe's four fundamental forces (the others being electromagnetism, and the strong and
weak nuclear forces).
to close and we fry, to far and our sun would be dead from old age 6 - of the 3 forces (
weak nuclear forces, strong nuclear forces and gravity) scientist are stumped why gravity was not evenly split like the other 2.
Why the strong and
weak nuclear forces?
The laws of physic requires that there be forces and objects that interact with each other, such as the four forces now known, of gravity, electro - magnetism, the strong and
weak nuclear forces (and now there is possibly dark energy) that is interwoven within matter.
Anti-falling physicists have been theorizing for decades about the «electromagnetic force,» the «
weak nuclear force,» the «strong nuclear force,» and so - called «force of gravity and they tilt their findings toward trying to unite them into one force.
weak nuclear force constant if larger: too much hydrogen would convert to helium in big bang; hence, stars would convert too much matter into heavy elements making life chemistry impossible if smaller: too little helium would be produced from big bang; hence, stars would convert too little matter into heavy elements making life chemistry impossible
By the way, the only way to make a 6,000 year old rock appear 4 billion years old is alter
the weak nuclear force by many orders of magnitude.
The other two forces are the strong nuclear force and
the weak nuclear force.
And the Higgs is entirely responsible for the mass of some particles, notably the W and Z bosons that transmit
the weak nuclear force.
The weak nuclear force is responsible for — well, nothing much, as far as familiar phenomena are concerned.
James Clerk Maxwell combined electricity, magnetism and light into a single theory of electromagnetism; a century later physicists added
the weak nuclear force to form a unified «electroweak» theory.
Neutrinos, electrically neutral particles that sense only gravity and
the weak nuclear force, interact so feebly with matter that 100 trillion zip unimpeded through your body every second.
But
the weak nuclear force — responsible for making neutrons decay into protons, electrons and neutrinos — might not be so essential (SN: 4/29/17, p. 22).
In the new research, he and his colleagues simulated how matter was created in the Big Bang and then condensed into stars, but without the effects of
the weak nuclear force.
It is some 10 quadrillion times bigger than the mass of the W and Z bosons that define the strength of
the weak nuclear force, for example.
The Stony Brook team hopes to use its small francium stockpile to study
the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for radioactive decay.
Another strike against the speedy neutrinos comes from the fact that neutrinos are linked to certain other particles — electrons, muons and tau particles — via
the weak nuclear force.
When the four forces — gravity, electromagnetism,
the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force — split off from an ur - force not long after the big bang, the universe might have been threaded with defects that gave it a texture.
The physicist Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas, Austin, received his Nobel Prize in 1979 for a major breakthrough in that quest — showing how electromagnetism and
the weak nuclear force are manifestations of the same underlying theory (he shared the prize with Abdus Salam and Sheldon Glashow).
Not so when acted on by
the weak nuclear force.
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.
Along with gravity, the electromagnetic interaction and
weak nuclear force, strong - interactions are one of four fundamental forces.
• While the text in our «Instant expert» pull - out guide to dark matter (5 February) said that the Z boson transmits
the weak nuclear force, the caption on p iv said otherwise.
Instead of studying the decays of the Higgses, they looked for signs of a Higgs produced in tandem with a Z boson or a W boson, particles that convey
the weak nuclear force, as they explain in a paper in press at Physical Review Letters.
In addition to producing gravity, WIMPs would interact with other matter and themselves only through
the weak nuclear force.
The second is one called the Z» (pronounced «Z - prime»), a lighter cousin of the Z boson that carries
the weak nuclear force.
The CDF and DZero experiments first observed particle collisions that created single top quarks through a different process of
the weak nuclear force in 2009.
Collisions that produce a single top quark through
the weak nuclear force are rarer, and the process scientists on the Tevatron experiments have just announced is the most challenging of these to detect.
The two collaborations jointly announced on Friday, Feb. 21, that they had observed one of the rarest methods of producing the elementary particle — creating a single top quark through
the weak nuclear force, in what is called the «s - channel.»
The forces between these particles are transmitted, first of all by photons which carry the electromagnetic force, and much heavier particles called W and Z, which transmit a related force, a very closely related force, called
the weak nuclear force.
There are four known forces in the universe: electromagnetic force, strong nuclear force,

Currently, the hypothetical Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, which are believed to interact with normal matter through gravity and

The existence of the Higgs boson goes a long way towards confirming the Standard Model of particle physics, which accurately describes three of the four known forces of nature: electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and

On the other hand, if the

weaker than what it actually is, then the complex atoms needed for biology could not hold together.
That Whitehead excludes the
weak and strong
nuclear forces is understandable — these were not identified until the 1930s — but why is gravity omitted?
