Elemental Forces

Elemental forces, also known as primordial forces or fundamental forces, are the basic forces of nature that govern the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. These forces are considered fundamental because they are not reducible to more basic forces and are described by theories such as quantum mechanics and general relativity. The four known elemental forces are gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. In Hebrew, elemental forces can be translated as כוחות יסודיים. In other languages, they are referred to as forces fondamentales in French, fundamental forces in Spanish, and Grundkräfte in German. Each of these forces plays a crucial role in the structure and dynamics of the universe, from the interactions of subatomic particles to the large-scale structure of galaxies.
