This tag is for the classical concept of forces, i.e. the quantities causing an acceleration of a body. It expands to the strong/electroweak force only insofar as they act comparable to ‘classical’ forces. Use the [particle-physics] tag for decay channels due to forces and [newtonian-mechanics] or one of the other subtopics of [classical-mechanics] for the dynamics of classical systems.

Short of collision, can gravity itself kill you?
Answering what I interpret to be your question, given the following ideal assumptions:
You are in an extremely strong, homogeneous gravitational field (same forces acting on your entire body). … your body can no longer withstand the forces. …

How can there be weight without movement?
The actual acceleration of an object ultimately depends on the sum of all those forces.
"Weight" refers to just one of those forces, not the net total. … The first point means that just because an object isn't accelerating doesn't mean there aren't forces acting on it. It's just that those forces happen to all sum up to zero in this case. …
