This is the cgs algorithm for introducing new concepts into physics without introducing new units: Simply write down the law relating the new concept to already known quantities without a constant of proportionality. Then let the law define the units. This works as long as the new q ...

... What Causes an Acceleration? Out of common experience, we know that any change in velocity must be due to an interaction between an object (a body) and something in its surroundings. An interaction that can cause an acceleration of a body is called a force. Force can be loosely defined as a pus ...

However, due to the special structure of both the spin interactions and the lattice, we show that the gauge interaction for the compass model is absent, which allows us to apply conventional approximation techniques developed for electron systems to analyze the original spin model. Our approximation ...

Fundamental interaction
Fundamental interactions, also known as fundamental forces, are the interactions in physical systems that don't appear to be reducible to more basic interactions. There are four conventionally accepted fundamental interactions—gravitational, electromagnetic, strong nuclear, and weak nuclear. Each one is understood as the dynamics of a field. The gravitational force is modeled as a continuous classical field. The other three are each modeled as discrete quantum fields, and exhibit a measurable unit or elementary particle.Gravitation and electromagnetism act over a potentially infinite distance across the universe. They mediate macroscopic phenomena every day. The other two fields act over minuscule, subatomic distances. The strong nuclear interaction is responsible for the binding of atomic nuclei. The weak nuclear interaction also acts on the nucleus, mediating radioactive decay.Theoretical physicists working beyond the Standard Model seek to quantize the gravitational field toward predictions that particle physicists can experimentally confirm, thus yielding acceptance to a theory of quantum gravity (QG). (Phenomena suitable to model as a fifth force—perhaps an added gravitational effect—remain widely disputed). Other theorists seek to unite the electroweak and strong fields within a Grand Unified Theory (GUT). While all four fundamental interactions are widely thought to align at an extremely minuscule scale, particle accelerators cannot produce the massive energy levels required to experimentally probe at that Planck scale (which would experimentally confirm such theories). Yet some theories, such as the string theory, seek both QG and GUT within one framework, unifying all four fundamental interactions along with mass generation within a theory of everything (ToE).
