Fundamental Forces

There are four fundamental forces that exist in Orbis. These forces are the Jovic Force, the Atronic Force, the Salvic Force, and the Gravitonic Force. These three forces primarily govern the interactions of elementary particles and atoms, save for the Gravitonic Force, more commonly known as gravity, that is too weak to influence the dynamics of microscopic physics.

The Four Forces
The first of the four forces is the jovic force. The jovic force is concerned with the interactions between elementary particles. All elementary particles have a jovic charge that governs their interactions. Particles with opposite jovic charges attract, while charges with the same jovic charges repel from one another. Both the atron and the letron have positive charges, while the ultron has a negative charge. The jovic force is the second strongest of the four forces. It is the cause of ultron-letron bonding, and prevents atrons and letrons from bonding together.

The second fundamental force is the atronic force. The atronic force is concerned exclusively with the properties of the atron. According the atronic force, atrons attract themselves and repel other particles. The atronic force is strongest of the four fundamental forces. At close range, the atronic force overcomes the jovic force, causing atrons to fuse together, allowing the nucleus of atoms to form. At longer range, the atronic force balances out the rejection between the atron and letron-ultron cluster caused by jovic force, allowing the cluster to fall into a stable orbit around the atronic nucleus.

The third fundamental force is the salvic force. The salvic force is primarily concerned with letron-ultron clusters. Atrons are salvically neutral and play no part in salvic interactions. Ultrons and letrons both generate salvic charges. According to the salvic force, letrons and ultrons are attracted to one another. Salvic forces are generally overshadowed by the jovic force and generally only serve to strength the bond of the letron-ultron cluster. Salvic force is the weakest of the four forces at distance. However, at extremely short distances, it is the strongest force of the four. When letron-ultron clusters are forced into close enough proximity, salvic forces overtake the jovic rejection and bond them together into cluster pairs. It is due to this that chemical bonds are possible.

The fourth and final known force is the gravitonic force, or gravity. Gravity is the tendency of mass to attract mass, and operates much the same as it does in the real universe. This force has little effect at subatomic levels, as it is the weakest of the four forces by far. Gravity, however, is the most well known force, because at macroscopic levels it is what keeps objects bound to the surface of their worlds.
