We are aware of the four known forces of nature (https://www.clearias.com/four-fundamental-forces-of-nature/). But how do one force convert to a different force over time, space, and energy-mass interactions?
Hmm. It would be very helpful to me if anyone could explain how forces may change via a physical process (e.g. chemical or nuclear) or via collisions of particles in a CERN experiment...
The four forces of nature were one in the beginning and the universe was super symmetric. Every time this symmetry broke, a force of nature popped up.
The above can be infered from Emma Noether's theorem that states that every symmetry is related with the conservation of a certain parameter. Whenever a symmetry broke, a force of nature appeared. This was theoretically proved by Dr Abdus Salam and his colleague who showed that electromagnetic and weak nuclear forces were earlier same (they called it electroweak force) and due to symmetry breaking these two forces manifested themselves separately. They theorised W and Z bosons responsible for weak nuclear forces later discovered at CERN.
Likewise it's hoped that another theory might show unification of all four forces as one and that these manifested themselves as four different forces because of various symmetry breaking events.
