Fundamental forces

After centuries of research into known forces and search after new ones, people have come to realise that all forces we know of are “versions” of just four fundamental forces:[1,2]

Fundamental forces
Gravity3Mass attracting mass
Electromagnetic force2Electric/magnetic repulsion and attraction
Strong nuclear force1Holds an atom’s nucleus together
Weak nuclear forceCauses eventual breakdown of atoms (decay)
