  But never actually zero, unlike those other quitter “forces”

    Is that actually true? I’m not an expert but I thought all forces extend our into infinity. I thought we just allowed them to go to 0 at a certain radius for the sake of making the math manageable.

      Not the person you replied to, and not really an expert either, but I can tell you that the W and Z bosons (force carriers for the weak force) are very short lived and can only travel so far before they decay. This effectively puts a cap on the distance of the weak force.

        Strong force is the same.

        I don’t know if it’s shorter than the weak force, but you gotta be in an atom’s nucleus to experience it

      Nah, at some point the simulation we live in is going to round down to save computing power.
