Frank Wilzcek applies logarithmic thinking to the relationship between the four forces, gravity, electromagnetic, weak and strong. Wilczek claims that the change in force follows a logarithmic curve.

Wilczek, along with David Gross and H. David Politzer, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2004 for discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction.

=Logarithmic Prediction of Force Relationship=

Although gravity, compared with atomic and nuclear forces, registers as a mere one part in 10^18, such a tiny ratio can be explained by prevailing quark and lepton theory. As we comprehend and operate in tinier and tinier distances, reaching the subnuclear realm, the strength of forces changes much more gently than expected. This change in force conforms with a logarithmic curve.
