A fresh new look at the other forces of nature...

[MissChristian]

In the quest for the TOE, what is it we need to be looking for?

Einstein turned the way we look at Gravity on its head suggesting that although it acts as a force, it is much more than that. Instead, or in addition to what was already known, he suggested that gravity was a property of space-time geometry. In other words, gravity is a distortion of space-time.

It got me thinking. How much work has been done on revaluating the other so called "forces" of nature. What do we know of their properties and is it possible that a deeper understanding of their mechanics and features may shed some light on how the pieces (small and big) fit together.

Take for instance the Strong nuclear force. (the strongest (or so we think) of the forces) What we know is that its main job is to hold together the subatomic particles of the nucleus (protons and neutrons)

Is it possible this force (not to mention the other forces) have other "purposes"? What about the way in which we imagine we understand they operate? Currently the school of thought is that the strong nuclear force is created between nucleons by the exchange of particles called mesons.

Perhaps if we found out more about the operation of this force (as Einstein did about gravity) it would help us on our way to the great TOE.

There seems to be an oppositional duality to the strong versus the weak force, they being as different as they north and south poles.

The strong force greatly aids stability, while the weak force aids changeability (by decay).

The electric and magnetic forces, on the other hand, are transitional, like east and west, each alternating into the other in the self-regenerating electromagnetic wave.

Gravity is a blend of the forces, being a secondary effect.

I stole most of this idea from Fredrick.

Hi MissChristian,

Welcome to the Quest.

You are on the right track. Our understanding of atomic forces is the problem. We are looking in the wrong direction because of the Big Bang nonsense.

Science asks "If everything was created in an instant billions of years ago what is this mysterious force that holds particles together after all this time?"

If you assume that there was no Big Bang and creation just IS then you can see that Gravity is the source, or fuel, of all Atomic Forces. When I say Gravity I mean the movement of the (stuff we don't know what it is ) SWDKWII into everything, creating it, maintaining it, and keeping it in place. What we see is nothing more than collapsing clouds of SWDKWII that become subatomic particles, then atoms, then molecules, then everything that IS. All of the forces embedded in this creation are a result of Gravity. Because this thing (the actual enviroment or reality; nature ) is alive it must be fed, like a fire. Without fuel it will go out.
