	Fundamental Forces
		Fundamentally, both magnetic and electric forces are manifestations of an exchange force involving the exchange of photons.
		The electromagnetic force is a force of infinite range which obeys the inverse square law, and is of the same form as the gravity force.
		The discovery of the W and Z particles in 1983 was hailed as a confirmation of the theories which connect the weak force to the electromagnetic force in electroweak unification.

	The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature
		There are four fundamental forces within all atoms, that dictate interactions between individual particles, and the large-scale behavior of all matter throughout the Universe.
		The electromagnetic force controls the behavior of charged particles and plasmas (a plasma is a mixture of equal numbers of positive ions and negative electrons) as, for example, in solar prominences, coronal loops, flares, and other kinds of solar activity.
		However, because the nuclear forces have such microscopically short ranges, and matter on the large scale tends to be electrically neutral, gravitation is the force that governs the motion of massive bodies such as planets, stars and galaxies.

	Four fundamental forces - quantum-world - 19 November 1988 - New Scientist
		Physicists say that mass is the source of the force of gravity; putting it another way, mass is the source of a field that maps the strength and direction of the gravitational force at all points in space (and time).
		The concept of a field of force was formulated in the 19th century in studies of the forces in electricity and magnetism.
		Maxwell's equations describe the field of the electromagnetic force, a force that ranks alongside gravity as one of the fundamental forces of the Universe.

		Most particle physicists perceive the existence of different forces each with separate theories to describe them to be inelegant and believe that all of the forces can be described in a general theory of everything.
		Also of note is that all four of these forces are conservative forces which is to say that the effect of the force on an object moving from one point to another is independent of the path of the object.

	The Fundamental Forces of Nature
		The four fundamental forces all play central roles in making the Universe what it is today, but with respect to the large-scale issues that are of interest to cosmology it is gravitation that is most important.
		This is because of two of its basic properties that set it apart from the other forces: (1) it is long-ranged and thus can act over cosmological distances, and (2) it always supplies an attractive force between any two pieces of matter in the Universe.
		Only when the temperature dropped did these forces separate from each other, with the strong force separating first and then at a still lower temperature the electromagnetic and weak forces separating to leave us with the 4 distinct forces that we see in our present Universe.

	Fundamental Particles and Forces
		Newton's theory was a unification of terrestrial forces with extraterrestrial forces, a recognition that the same force governs both the laws of heaven and the laws of earth.
		When it was recognized in the 1930's that the nucleus of the atom consisted of protons and neutrons, physicists hypothesized a strong force in the nucleus that acts to bind protons and neutrons together in spite of the great electromagnetic repulsion between the positively charged protons.
		Finally the weak force was unified with the electromagnetic force, yielding the electroweak theory, and the strong force was explained by quantum chromodynamics, or QCD.
