Why Is Gravity the Weakest Force?

StartsWithABang writes: If you calculate the forces between two fundamental particles separated by subatomic distances, you find that the strong, electromagnetic or weak nuclear force could all be the strongest, dependent on the particulars of your setup. But throw gravity in there, and it turns out to be weaker by some 40 orders of magnitude. This discrepancy, that gravity is such an oddball, is known as the hierarchy problem, and is by many measures the greatest unsolved problem in theoretical physics. Yet the new, upgraded run of the LHC has the potential to uncover any one of four possible solutions, some of which we have hints for already.

Just ask the CIA/NSA/DOD for secrets

Im sure the govt has many secrets and break thrus that they are keeping secret.

Imagine if it was easy to create a worm hole to cut a planet in half, ISIS would dare do that and we dont need some wacko muslim doing that.

And yes there is a secret shadow govt, and secret highly advanced break away civilization with tech decades beyond mainstream, that probably has deep space convoys and ships and far off bases etc.

If string theory is correct,

Okay, that got a chuckle out of me. Good one.

We didn't get our Friday SJW thread. I'm kind of disappointed.

So, with that in mind, it's because gravity is the female variant of force. Obviously, this makes it weaker. Even the most retarded of forces, magnetic force, is stronger than gravity and it's a mentally retarded male force. The feminists have taken over academia and called it the weak nuclear force to imply that it, a male force, was weaker than the strong independent female force of gravity! Well, the yolk's on them because we now the truth.

I, for one, am glad of this publicity! I hope more people see this and realize the harm that has come to science in the name of social justice and political correctness.
