Week 4, Four Forces

I find it really hard to compare the four forces. Maybe that has to do with not being in class for the interesting discussion I am sure you all had. I find it really hard to relate to the weak force and the strong force because I cannot feel them holding my atoms together. And the only mental image I have of the atomic forces is the atom bomb and how powerful it is. Gravity is a part of our everyday life: it grounds, contains, and gives us boundaries. The electromagnetic force is also more commonly felt, although I find it difficult to think of it as a “force” like gravity.
