The whole aim of fundamental physics is to see more and ... but to have just one book on all the forces of nature. A simpler description—that's what we're aiming at. It isn't written in the ...

However, life is not only shaped by its surroundings. There are limitations to form and function, imposed by the fundamental forces of nature. And you can clearly see them at work, when you ...

The trouble boils down to gravity. It’s the only one of the four fundamental forces of nature described by general relativity, and the only one that quantum theory cannot address. Coming up with ...

Of the four known fundamental forces of nature, the weak nuclear force is the one with the least obvious purpose. Gravity holds stars together and keeps us on the ground. The electromagnetic force ...

LEDs could explain why gravity is weaker than the other fundamental forces of nature, and why neutrinos have such tiny masses in the first place. Although many fascinating experiments take place ...

And the reason could be evidence of a new, fifth force of nature. Currently, there are four known forces of nature: gravitational, electromagnetic, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
