The water cycle, plate tectonics, and the rock cycle (yes, there is such a thing as the rock cycle), the nitrogen cycle and the carbon cycle, all support the ability of our planet to be dynamic and bear life. Without gravity we would not orbit the sun, and our planet would not have the seasons, day or night, the tides, or ecosystems of life. The earth would not exist without gravity, nor would the sun, which also would not convert hydrogen into light and heat that bombards the earth every second. This motion affects pretty much everything we ever experience because the large-scale motion of the earth is almost completely thanks to gravity. But gravity is what puts larger matter in motion, moving entire galaxies at speeds nearly unthinkable to our frame of reference. The strong and weak nuclear forces hold the very fabric of reality together, working at the atomic scale, while electromagnetism is how the atomic world interacts with the macro world we live in.

We live in a universe of cycles birthed from the fundamental forces of reality.Īs far as we know, there are four fundamental forces of nature driving all movement and transforming all states of energy into action, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, electromagnetism, and the big daddy, gravity.
