It’s not a meme about the strength but about how complex the physics are.

The weak interaction breaks a lot of symmetries that hold in EM and strong interactions, like CP symmetry. Its gauge symmetry is also completely wild: SU(2)~L~ x U(1)~Y~, compared to U(1) for EM and SU(3) for the strong interaction. And finally there’s also neutrino oscillations related to that. So to me the weak interaction is like a derpy brother to the other two.

Then gravity is something completely different and we are yet to figure out how to describe it in quantum physics. So that’s why I chose that creature.
