Re:Magnetism and Electrostatic forces seemed weak (Score 1)

A long time ago I swore never to get involved in discussing science on /., but what I can I say, we are all of us weak at times.

I suspect that we don't actually understand magnetism

Um, yes we do, to the level that we understand the electric field.

And, while it's clearly affected by magnetism and electrostatic forces, it also seems to be unaffected by gravity.

And where did you get this bit of "information"? Since gravity is a property of matter (and not state of matter), how do you reconcile this statement with your faith that the fundamental forces of nature occur on a subatomic level?
