gravitational force

One of the four fundamental forces of nature, the other three being the electromagnetic force, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. The gravitational force is the weakest of the four forces, but acts over great distances. The particle that is postulated as the carrier of the gravitational force is the graviton.
