...these four forces, Einstein concerned himself with only two--electromagnetism and gravity--because the others were simply beyond his experimental means. The two others, which exist on the sub-atomic level, were developed to resolve specific problems. Ernest Rutherford's celebrated early twentieth century experiments on nuclear density uncovered an empirical contradiction: all the protons (positively charged species) in a given atom are concentrated in its nucleus; since like charges repel one another, the nucleus should theoretically burst apart. So physicists coined the "strong" forces--those which specifically...

...roomate through Omni's brilliant creation. The work is all Omni who, besides directing, wrote and filmed Tree. The cast, non-professional, which may account for the subtlety and dignity with which the characters were portrayed. Not once was piety overdrawn or intelligence underdrawn. The dialogue and (blessedly) the sub-titles were kept at a minimum. Omni instead relied on inspired camera work to tell his story. The lighting alone was probably enough to justify the Golden Palm award this film received at Cannes last year...
