Absolutely loved your work! The way you described the forces and the interactions of various fundamental elements is right on cue.
I must have read hundreds of books and articles throughout my college life and after, always interested to understand the secret of our universe but maybe you opened up a small potion of that immense knowledge and may very well spearhead a group of fellow enthusiasts, with similar passions and interests with the information you just shared.

Thanks,
Lok.

Could you add a potential diagram here as well?

I guess the simple part is, the weak interaction is mediated by the W + and W – bosons and the Z boson. When the nucleus gets too big, the strong force cannot hold the nucleus together because of the repelling positive charges inside the atom. Then the weak force causes the atom to break up into smaller atoms and particles releasing electromagnetic energy. Some of the atom’s mass has been transformed into energy- a Nuclear Chain Reaction, it is.

Thank you so much for the whole series but specially this one! I understand the weak force much better, now. Might have to read it again in a few weeks… This stuff is not easy for a layman!
