Abstract

The article discusses the strong force, which is the strongest force in the universe and binds atomic nuclei together. Despite limited knowledge about its precise strength, recent breakthroughs have allowed scientists to measure and understand the strong force more accurately. The force changes with distance and is responsible for most of the visible mass in the universe. By studying the interaction between quarks and gluons, researchers have made predictions and calculations that were previously impossible. This new understanding of the strong force may also have implications for explaining phenomena outside of our current understanding. [Extracted from the article]
