At the moment we find the strong and weak as fundamental also, but new experiments may/will reveal more as we model them with the mathematical tools we have. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 5:13 | comment | added | Stan Shunpike | If I understand you correctly, you are saying the idea of a fundamental force may just be because of the scales we work at? That is, if we could set up any experiment we wanted, we might find there are many kinds of force but that the ones we observe are simply due to the scales we work at? In other words, there could be more forces... | |
