Known as the Standard Model, this theory describes the elementary particles and three of the four fundamental forces that serve as the building blocks for our world (see the Elementary Particles ...

That at least is the case with the strong nuclear force, one of four fundamental forces of nature (the others being electromagnetism, gravity and the weak nuclear force). The strong force holds ...

These four fundamental forces exist between fermions (quarks and leptons). They arise from the exchange of bosons. Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion ...

What is quantum physics? Put simply, it’s the physics that explains how everything works: the best description we have of the nature of the particles that make up matter and the forces with ...

How does the behaviour of muons go against the four fundamental forces of the universe? As of now, there are four fundamental forces in the universe — gravity, electromagnetism, weak force and ...

In particular this theory would unify our understanding of all the fundamental physical forces in our universe. There are four such forces that physicists know of: gravity (which keeps planets ...
