In a Black Hole, is gravity the only force drawing matter and energy into it, or deep inside at a minute scale (3 femtometers), is the Strong Force also operant ?
Bonus questions:
1) Would it be true to say that without the Strong Force, there would be no matter?
2) In the "splitting of the...
Very informative responses.
More observations from my innocent eyes:
One of the more significant things we know about the SF is that it changes character. Within the quark-gluon interaction, it has infinite strength. Between nucleons, it has the considerably smaller "non-infinite" amount of...
Thank you.
(From an earlier post, copied here) I believe this has the information you just requested:
"Aside from differences based on distance, in this whole discussion, only two facts have been stated explaining why these two forces couldn't be the same:
1) Gravity and the Strong force have...
No insult was intended - pardon me if it came off that way. I very much appreciate the time you are taking. I am here to learn and you are volunteering to help me with that.
To the eyes of this "innocent" there seems to be a contradiction - or at least a conclusion, that is not justified by the...
Ryan M B: you are telling me to "just believe" people who know more then me, without offering details.

I fear that I am becoming a nuisance. Nevertheless:
Nabeshin:
The one property they have in common - they each attract mass - is the very thing that determines them to be fundamental forces - so whether they are actually different, or somehow just different expressions of the same thing, goes...
Kloptok: Thank you - although details are still wanting.
While these two forces have very different evident characteristics, note the way the question asked: "is it possible..." The fact that they ultimately do the same thing, begs the question.
ZapperZ: If we lived in the 15th century and I asked, "Could the world be round?" would you tell me that is not how we do science?
Bobbywhy: There is nothing on any of the sites you mentioned that specifically addresses the question I posed.
I asked a legitimate, and obvious question and am...
I have no source material - actually just thought of this question, which seems to be pretty basic, but can find no discussion of it on the internet.
And, thanks for making me feel welcome!
Agreed that these two forces "have hugely different strengths," etc., but is there any possible way they...
Because the Strong Force and gravity are both forces that attract, could they actually be the same thing, manifesting in different ways at different distances?
