Strong nuclear forces are the strongest force on earth. Gravity is generally considered the weakest amongst the fundamental forces governing physics.
FYI. it's the force that holds the nuclei of an atom together and the splitting of this bond is how a nuclear reactor "creates" energy/heat.

But nuclear forces aren't considered natural forces are they?
Literally everything you are looking at is held together by nuclear forces. And on an even more defined level, "strong interactions" which hold together the quarks that make up the protons and neutrons.
Gotcha. Well in that case, there's no nuclear fusion on earth anyways. All current gen reactors can only use nuclear fission (atom splitting) instead of fusion (merging atoms)
Another thing to add to for everyone's knowledge. We desperately want fusion technology, because then we can use hydrogen to create helium plus massive amounts of energy and no nuclear waste at all ;)

See I knew THAT, which was why I was getting all confused. Glad we cleared it up and I learned something new

For now we could try and start using hydrogen reactions as a standard. You know, with only water as result :D
Thought I'd add one more thing. If you guys like documentaries or just want to learn about nuclear energy in more detail, check out Pandora's Promise on Netflix. It does a good job of explaining why nuclear energy is great for the world.

If you are talking about physics, dark matter. If it is psycologically, fear.
are we talking about what is currently the strongest force on earth or what used to be the strongest force on earth. because if we are talking about in the past then the strongest force on earth is either the roman army or the christian church. if we are talking about now then the strongest force on earth is either the internet or the american military depending on your definition of force
Lust is the strongest force. Lust creates greed and envy, which becomes hate. Lust for power, money, knowledge, control, etc. drives many other forces on the planet. Lust for power led to almost all the wars in the world, which made the need for stronger and stronger weapons, more resources, more followers, etc.

You are an example. Your PC is an example. Look around you: That's an example.
