Scientific paper
In this essay we wish to seek a unifying thread between the basic forces. We propose that there exists a universal force which is shared by all that physically exists. Universality is characterized by the two properties: (i) universal linkage and (ii) long range. They uniquely identify Einstein gravity as the unversal force. All other forces then arise as these properties are peeled off. For instance, relaxing (i) but retaining (ii) will lead to Maxwell electromagnetic force. This unified outlook makes interesting suggestions and predictions: if there exists a new force, it can only be a short range non-abelian vector or a scalar field, and there should exist in an appropriate space duality relations between weak and electric, and between strong and gravity.
