-the strong force, which holdsatomic nuclei together; the electromagnetic force, which holds atoms and molecules together;-----it can be seen that the strong force is also 39 orders of magnitude greater than gravity. Perhaps that relationship is better explained with the electric force.

What is this strong force? What is the electromagnetic force?

What is the mechanical action that produces these effects?

Should we just accept that it is there and works?

Mr. Smith, I appreciate your posts, and would point these questions to you if you care to speculate about these phenomenon. I have heard so many theories that now I have no idea what electricity is...

Thank you.....

A coherent explanation of this "strong force" in terms of electromagnetic force interactions would certainy be more convincing to some of the skeptics.

No one knows "what" those forces are. It's like asking someone to tell you what gravity "is". The Great Dog invites any readers of the forum to find an explanation for a fundamental force, without resorting to circular reasoning, or using another undefinable term.

In THE GRAND UNIFICATION THEORY at http://milesmathis.com/gut.html Mathis said:

I have ditched the strong force as unnecessary, since we have no data indicating that the E/M field exists in the nucleus. The strong force was postulated to counteract E/M in the nucleus, but a better theory is that it [the E/M field] does not exist there. I have shown mechanically and logically why it wouldn't exist there [see http://milesmathis.com/stack.html], so all the work done on the strong force has just been busywork. This works out well, since the strong force is the most tenuous of the four. The math and theory underlying the strong force are razor thin, and very little is lost in jettisoning it.
