The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature

There are supposedly four fundamental forces of nature. These are:

1. The strong force
2. The electromagnetic force
3. The weak force
4. Gravity

And each of these are described with their own field equations.

No one has succeeded in joining these forces into a single equation. However, most people with an interest in science feel intuitively that there should only be one force. All of this should be nothing but different manifestations of the same force.

If Morton Spears is right, then gravity is a manifestation of the electromagnetic force, and we are left with only the strong force and weak force in addition to the electromagnetic force.

The interesting thing about the strong and the weak force is that they seem to presume an awful lot about the nature of things.

The strong force is keeping the protons and neutrons from flying away from each other in the nucleus of atoms, and the week force is involved in nuclear fusion.

No one has ever had any direct experience of either the strong force or the weak force. They are just presumed to exist based on the standard interpretation of things. The electromagnetic force and gravity on the other hand are forces we know about from everyday experience.

What makes everything all the more suspect is the complexity of the explanations.

The forces are presumed to manifest themselves through the exchange of particles. The strong force is expressed as an exchange of gluons. The weak force is expressed as an exchange of bosons.

The idea appears to be that the mystery of the field is somehow solved by this mechanism. But how is the exchange of particles in any way able to generate a force? This whole scheme looks more like a complication than a solution.

The electromagnetic force is supposedly made manifest through the exchange of photons. These are clearly not Morton Spears' photons, but something way more mysterious. They transmit force, but when did light become a force?

Particle physics is almost certainly a dead end. It is way too complex, and it does not seem to explain anything. There must be some better and simpler explanation as to how everything hangs together.

My guess is that there is only one force in the universe, and that is the electromagnetic force. Everything else is a misinterpretation of observations, including the idea that forces are made manifest through the exchange of particles.

When I finally arrived at a conclusion on all this, I ended up with the strong and weak force being related to particle textures. Gravity became a manifestation of an imbalance in the electric force, and the electric and magnetic forces became two separate but closely related forces, with the electric force being related to the neutrino, and the magnetic force being related to the photon.
