Ep 14: The Four Fundamental Forces
Synopsis
Visible matter, which accounts for a mere 5% of this Universe’s matter consists of four fundamental forces! Those four fundamental forces consist of Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong Nuclear & Weak Nuclear. These forces apply to all of our daily activities, resources, motions…. everything! Without these forces, the universe… although it only consists of 5% visible matter… would be a much different place and arguably have no capability of life. After the hot period of the Big Bang, these forces have been the reason for matter in the cosmos. This podcast takes a simplistic approach to introducing these forces. Enjoy!
