Popular science explanations of the standard model usually describe four forces (strong nuclear, electromagnetism, weak nuclear, and gravity). They also claim that some of the forces are stronger than others. What they don’t tell you is that all of those claims are only valid for distances comparable to the radius of a proton. For different size scales, the order of the strength of the forces can be wildly different. In this video, Dr. Don does a much deeper dive into the topic. Prepare to be amazed. Is the weak nuclear force really a force?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvH0hLaBOTk Fermilab physics 101: https://www.fnal.gov/pub/science/particle-physics-101/index.html Fermilab home page: https://fnal.gov
