Puzzle Description:
This puzzle is in response to Teresa K's #6308 puzzle. As I was solving her puzzle, I came up with this idea. The four fundamental forces are still represented - just in a more destructive manner. :) A nuclear explosion represents the weak interaction as a lot of neutrinos are released as a result. A lightning bolt represents the electromagnetic force. A spiral galaxy with a black hole in the center of it devouring nearby stars represents the gravitational force. A beam of protons colliding with each other in a particle accelerator represents the strong force showing how even it can be overcome allowing the protons to be broken into smaller particles.

Very fun, Gator!#2: Jan Wolter (jan) on Jul 16, 2009
Nice, challenging puzzle, and a cool idea.#3: Gator (Gator) on Jul 16, 2009
But why did I think bigger Gator puzzles sounded like a good idea? There goes another hour or so.
Sometimes we have ideas that sound good, but when put into practice, do not turn out how we think they would have. :)#4: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Jul 16, 2009 [SPOILER]
Wow, not what I was expecting! I haven't done Teresa's puzzle yet, but I assumed the 4 forces were the 4 classical Greek elements. I couldn't figure out how each image corresponded to one of those elements, though. I was very surprised to see it based on modern, not ancient, physics! I should have known, since you said forces, not elements, but I never expected the weak interaction to show up in a PBN. :) A real "nerd puzzle" (and I say that in a complimentary sense).#5: Robyn Broyles (ginkgo100) on Jul 16, 2009 [HINT]

#4 - I do take that as a compliment as I've always considered myself a "nerd". :)#7: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Jul 17, 2009
Not very hard, actually. Now THAT is what surprised me about this Gator puzzle.#8: Sylvain "WCPman" (qwerty) on Jul 18, 2009 [SPOILER]
Ok now where is my expect STAR WARS puzzle here ????#9: Gator (Gator) on Jul 18, 2009
great job Gator took me by surprise but a great result
#7 - We will see about the next one. :)#10: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Jul 27, 2009
#8 - Since this was a result of doing Teresa's puzzle, I figured I needed to have a Star Wars title also.
Enjoyed this very much!#11: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Aug 19, 2011
very fun puzzle to solve#12: Gator (gator) on Aug 21, 2011
Thanks!#13: Synthia McBride (synthia) on Oct 6, 2013
Fun puzzle to solve. And a very interesting concept to think about once it is done.#14: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Oct 7, 2013
I really enjoyed the solving of this puzzle and the concepts it represents. Very, very interesting. Well done!#15: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Aug 4, 2021
Always a pleasure solving a Gator.#16: Gator (gator) on Aug 4, 2021
