This movement examines the four fundamental forces—strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational—that govern and balance the structure of the universe. These forces are responsible for all observable physical phenomena and interactions between particles.
Why do these four forces exist in the universe? While we do not yet know all the answers, this performance invites reflection on the mystery of these fundamental forces at the microscopic scale. Are they genuinely distinct, or could they be unified? Are we moving toward a ‘theory of everything’? Perhaps if the fundamental particles mediating these forces are linked, they might resemble “strings.” The day may come when the true origin of these interactions is understood.
