Here is a question I have not been able to find the answer to, which is not

insight, wisdom, ... When did scientists, like Rutherford, Chadwick, and
Bohr come to the realization that there must be a strong force acting within
the newly discovered nucleus. Who named it the strong force and, on a
magnitude scale, how many times greater is it compared to the E-M force?
Also, why is the weak force called weak and what is its relative strength?
Perhaps the unified electro-weak force should be called the meak force for
magneto-electro-weak!

Tom,
I can't help you with this quote, but the one I like better goes
like:
"Nature can never tell you if you are right, only that you are wrong"
When I find the source I will give it to you.

Hello,
Does anyone know who said the line that, ... nature is stranger than
we
can imagine." Or something to this effect. And what the exact wording
to
this line is? Thanks
