The strong nuclear force is actually another form of gravity. Discuss.

no
varies completely differently

Wouldn't that other form of gravity kill us then?

>>8873484
How strong it is on earth?

>>8873486
I thought he was referring to nuclear energy in general similar to that found in nukes.

>>8873493
Nope one of the fundamental forces of the universe.

Electromagnetic, gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces.

>>8873412
strong nuclear force =/= strong force

mesons have mass --> limited range

>>8873412
The strong force is an [math] SU(3) [/math] gauge theory. The Weinberg–Witten theorem theorem says that there's no quantum field theory can have a gravition in it.

>>8873412
Can anyone provide a reference to a good experimental test of whether electrons are affected by gravity?

Check if your electrons have mass. Do they have mass? Yes they do, so they are affected by gravity.

>>8873412
Gravity is still just a theory, it has not been proven to exist.

>>8873564
Gravity as defined by a specific theory, yes. Gravity defined to be the observed phenomena, no.

>>8873555
That's just an assumption based on theory. I'm asking about the experimental record.

We have observed that gravity bends light, pulls whole atoms, lone protons, and even free neutrons (through ultracold neutron experiments, which may be the key to making gravity fit into the quantum model). I haven't heard of any experiments which prove that lone electrons experience gravitational acceleration, though I assume people have at least tried, and didn't get results too terribly shocking.
