The four forces

Okay, so I am just going to explain my thinking and how I got myself to somewhat understand these concepts.
The way I began to think of electromagnetic force was equating in to a Queen and her subject. The queen is at the center and her subjects are continuously working around her to keep things in order. I equated strong nuclear force to a bowling ball crashing into the pins causing them to fly apart. For weak nuclear force I think of vinegar being introduce to oil. It breaks the oil up and creates something new. I realize this are totally obscure relations to the subject matter, but it did help me begin to grasp some of this stuff. When I was reading about gravity in relation to the other forces, I found it interesting that it is the one force that is always attractive.
