| Dec 30, 2014 at 16:51 | comment | added | zade70 | @CarlWitthoft I'm in high school and I have so many subjects to learn. I asked this question because as i was reading my new lesson, I couldn't understand why this was true. This question is made to help me understand a concept that was given only as information in my book. Again I don't have time right now to read other physics books that people learn in university. | |

| Dec 15, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | Carl Witthoft | Zade, I think it's time you stopped posting a deluge of naive questions and took the time to go off and read some physics texts if you're really interested in this stuff. | |
| Dec 15, 2014 at 16:20 | comment | added | CuriousOne | @TZDZ: The comparison is quite naive. It's just the ratio between the force of gravity AS CALCULATED using Newtonian theory at nuclear distances relative to the order of magnitude of measured electroweak and color force. The actual force of gravity has never been measured at that distance and it could be quite a bit larger without perturbing our current dataset in nuclear and high energy physics. The best experiments we have can measure gravity at the scale of 0.1mm, I believe, and at that distance it seems to be perfectly Newtonian. What happens between 0.1mm and 1e-15m we don't know! | |
| Dec 15, 2014 at 16:15 | comment | added | TZDZ | @CuriousOne I think the question is "what does such a comparison mean ?". I think the question is thus about the Coupling constant. | |
| Dec 15, 2014 at 16:08 | comment | added | CuriousOne | Physics does not answer "why" questions. At most we could answer a question like "What's the mechanism that causes gravity at the GeV scale to be much weaker than the other forces?". The honest answer to that would be, that currently nobody knows. Many theorists have made very detailed suggestions for the mechanisms that may be behind this phenomenon, but we have no way of knowing which one of these explanations is correct (if any). After reading ACuriousMind's answer I gave him an upvote and I would give another, if I could. He is spot on. | |
