It’s focused on the Higgs boson, but it does give an overview of particle physics.

So if two nucleons are far apart, it gets harder for pions to reach one from the other. And the attractive force works through interchange of pions, so it becomes exponentially weaker with the distance.

“…this particle would have mass, and as a result the strength of the strong force would die off exponentially with distance”. Why does mass cause a ‘force’ carrying particle to lose its strength exponentially with distance?
