Strong Interaction: The Four Fundamental Forces of Physics #1a
Part one of a four part series on the fundamental forces (or interactions) of physics begins with the strong force or strong interaction - which on the small scale holds quarks together to...
========== Welcome to our series on the four fundamental forces of physics.Gravitation, electromagnetism, the strong force and the weak force.Today, we're starting with the most powerful of them all:the strong force.[Intro]The strong force is not something you interact with on a daily basis,but it is what holds your atoms together, so that's important.And it does it in a couple of ways:it not only holds the atom's nucleus together,it also keeps the protons and the neutrons in the nucleus from busting apart.Today, we're gonna focus just on this second effect:how the strong force keeps the protons and the neutrons together,through what's sometimes called "color force".Neutrons and protons are both a type of particle called a h...
