Overall I’d say gravity is the strongest force in the universe. Neither the electromagnetic nor the strong or weak nuclear forces have any effect at great distance but gravity’s effect stretches all the way across the observable universe.


The hotel I am staying at on the way to grad school has wifi, so I decided to see what DaveScot has been up to. Well look what I find. Apparently, DaveScot has never seen the stars since the electromagnetic force has no effect at a great distance (would light-years be enough?).

What makes the quote even better is that he uses the term  "observable universe" while saying the force that mediates that observation does not actually have an effect at such distances.

But hey, what do I know. I do not have an IQ of 150.

Edit: Oh man, DaveScot you are great.

I had all the formal training in electromagnetic theory the military has to offer which is substantial plus a number of college classes after the military but I didn’t learn anything in the college classes that I hadn’t already learned on my own.
