THE BALANCE OF GRAVITATIONAL FORCES
The physical laws of the universe are based on four primary
forces: gravity, electromagnetism, and the so-called weak and
strong nuclear forces. The values of each of the four have been
fine-tuned to perfection for the universe as we know it to exist,
and for human life.
Gravity is one of the most important forces affecting the
universe’s order. Newton declared that this force was responsi-
ble not only for apples falling to the ground but also that this
mysterious force kept the stars in their orbits. Einstein intro-
duced a new and deeper perspective to this phenomenon, theo-

rizing about how it forced huge stars to collapse and turn into

One of the most important
forces that affect the order
of the universe is gravity.
Newton declared this was
an extraordinary force that
not only caused apples to
fall from trees, but also
served to maintain the
planets in their orbits.
