Please excuse this non-student from asking simple questions, but I'm hoping you won't mind helping me to understand things a little better.
I've read articles in magazines, New Scientist for example, of the search for gravitons, these being the supposed particle that mediate the force of gravity.
Working backwards from this, I began to wonder what particles mediate the other forces, and I have a little problem with the electromagnetic force, is it the electron, the photon, or both?
What particles mediate the weak and strong nuclear forces?
What other forces/particles do I need to consider?
TIA
