Perhaps a bit of Aristotelean potency and act can help here.

Gravity has the greatest potential for strength, and sometimes that maximum strength is actualized.


The other forces have have a pretty large potential for strength. think about it this way.

All matter orbits some other bit of matter because of gravity.

But what if everything was a giant block of magnetic iron spinning and orbiting.

Whats more powerful? The force of gravity of 2 earth sized magentic iron planets? or the force of gravity? In this case gravity is easily overcome.

You just never see this in nature because of the way the universe works.

Yeah, I think you're getting confused here.  You're asking what's greater, this gravity or that gravity.

Black Hole vs Gigantic Monster Magnet Planets?

Black Hole wins.  It will eat GMMPs all day.

It's all about mass and not size. (at least that's what she said)

Late in the video it explains how gravity is 10 to the 25th weaker than the nuclear binding force.

im getting out of my mind here.

My final thought because this is getting beyond me.

Gravity vs all other forces 1 on 1, is the weakest force. But it is the only force that can indefintely mulitply and beat the others. However it is only in a blackhole that gravity can acheive this, but blackholes only exist after it overcomes electron degeneracy and neutron degeneracy in a star that has gone supernova.

When people start talking baout gravity and other dimensions, i start walking the other way.
