We can quantify the three other forces but not this one. Why?
The standard model of particle physics includes the electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forces, but not the strong force. This is because the strong force is described by a different theory known as quantum chromodynamics (QCD), which is not fully integrated into the standard model.
No, the strong force cannot be described by a single equation. Unlike the other fundamental forces, the strong force is not a simple force between two particles, but rather a complex interaction between particles known as quarks and gluons. As a result, it requires a more complicated mathematical framework to describe it.
The strong force is considered to be the strongest force because it is responsible for binding the quarks together to form protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus of an atom. This force is about 100 times stronger than the electromagnetic force, which is responsible for holding electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
The strong force cannot be measured or observed directly, as it only acts over extremely short distances on the scale of atomic nuclei. However, scientists can indirectly study the effects of the strong force through experiments and particle colliders, which allow them to study the behavior of quarks and other subatomic particles.
Yes, there is ongoing research to find a unified theory that includes the strong force and integrates it with the other fundamental forces. This is an area of active research in theoretical physics, and while progress has been made, a complete equation for the strong force has not been found yet.
