what is the greatest force in the universe?

I would say the strong nuclear force, that holds quarks together in protons and neutrons. This is the strongest if you add up all the individual forces in the universe, as it is present in every proton and neutron in every atom in the universe. If the strong force disappeared, the entire universe would instantly explode into fundamental particles.\n\nOn the other hand, on an everyday scale, the electromagnetic force is most noticeable (it is responsible for everyday forces between objects), and is stronger than gravity (by standing up the electromagnetic forces between atoms of your feet and the floor are overcoming the gravity of an entire planet.)

Photons.\n\nThere are about 10^9 photons for every nucleon in the universe.

Absolutely, Father God is the greatest and only cosmological force in existance.  All things were created by Him. Nothing was created that He did not create!

The correct answer is that no one knows.  We don't even know what most of the universe is made of (right now it's being called dark matter, because all we know about it is that we can't see it).\n\nIf I had to make a bet, I would go with total energy equals zero.  \n\nThere is a lot of matter in the universe, as everyone is saying, and that makes for a lot of mass energy.  But, the flip side is that there is a lot of mass in the universe, and that makes for a lot of negative gravitational potential energy.  It is possible they cancel.

yup you are right. The force requires matter. Like a tree in the forest falling. Sound waves are created but if no one hears it does it really exist?

Well honestly the strongest force in nature is indeed a force, and not a measurement of temperature.  The strongest force in nature that we know of is the Nuclear Strong Force which is responsible for holding together the nucleus of an atom.\n\nIn terms of heat or cold, I would have to say heat, because you can make something as hot as you want, but you can only make it cold to a certain temperature (-273 deg. C)

Force of gravitaional attraction is given by:\n\nF=G*m1*m2/(r^2)\n\nwhere:\nF=force\nG=universal gravitational constant\nm1=mass of first object\nm2=mass of second object\nr=distance between objects\n\nr must be infinitely large before force of attraction becomes zero.

Centrifugal force is  a virtual force. I wonder if it is just an outcome of Newton's absolute space. Since absolute space is not valid concept so is the centrifugal force. So You decide , whether you wanna go to find the quantum mechanical expalnation of the another blunder!

A philosophical question. In physics no force is unstoppable.

Its origins and nature are still open to postulation. But it is an attractive force only between any two masses and Newton concluded in his uneiversal laws of gravitation that the attractive force (F) was proportional to the masses interacting(M1 and M2) and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart (r)\n\nie F α M1*M2/d²\nwhence \n\nF = G*M1*M2/r² \nwhere G is the universal gravitation constant\nG ≈ 6.6742 x 10^(-11) Nm²/kg²

The universe is an indefinite entity.It is bounded by 'nothing' even in the strict sense of modern physics.

The Begy atomic model. It eliminates the nedd for the quite unbelievable strong and weak nuclear forces. It also defines gravity as a force acting upon the universe rather than from within it. This reduces the forces in this universe to just one the electromagnetic force. Is this a unified field theory?\n\nWeb search, "Begy atomic model"

Nuclear force, gravitational force, (I think these can be either attractive or repulsive:) electrostatic force, and magnetic force.

the weak force is what holds atoms together, the strong force is what hold protons and neutrons (particles) together.\n\nGravity is cumulative and in a black hole overwhelms all other forces. Perhaps you could pull something out of the edge of the event horizon, but not the black hole itself.

the gravitational force can act in any medium as well as in vacuum. the sun exerts a gravitational force on the earth across a vast expanse of vacuum! this itself is proof enough.\nthe objects will all touch the ground at the same time whether in a medium or in vacuum. this occurs for the sole reason tht all of them are of equal mass.
