The forces and interactions we see and experience every day seem infinite. But they all stem from just four fundamental forces of nature.

I always look to what you have to say about things, but unless there is simply misunderstanding upon occasion, we do part ways, seriously, in some particularly fundamental things:Some notes I make here after reading this very interesting article. In the report, "Though gravity holds planets, stars, solar systems and even galaxies together, it turns out to be the weakest of the fundamental forces, especially at the molecular and atomic scales."
Yes, and different values for G, replusive gravity like during inflation postulated or other values for G, could alter everything we see today in astronomy. Somehow, nature operating via random processes and postulated evolutionary events in the beginning, did all of this without throwing everything out of alignment and the Earth not forming, or buzzing away from the Sun.
A very interesting view of quantum gravity, gravitons, dark photons, dark matter, and dark energy is near the end of the article. It is stunning to me, how science explains our origins today from such a mix that popped up in the early universe
If I read you right, then I probably still have a different sense of the nature of things that is very basic. Few rules in the base means greater strength and clarity of structure throughout the Universe but allows a maximum of freedom in nature, while essentially forbidding runaway anarchies. I draw this view not only from all the history I've studied but also from the Science of Complexity as presented in M. Mitchell Waldrop's Complexity: The Emerging Science at the Edge of Order and Chaos. Even James Gleick's Chaos described order to the universes' disorder given just a few basic rules. But the few have to be a primordial few of the Universe with no possibility of anarchy running away with the Universe. Not only do they have to hold beginning to end, but end to beginning. The Universe has to have full reach of all possibilities in its few controls.The repeated theme of the Multiverse Universe is used to avoid *in the beginning* problems like this space.com article could point too. From my studies, the multiverse has at least 10^500 different varieties but they could all have very different vacuum energy densities compared to what we see today in astronomy. The multiverse could just as easily have no four fundamental forces of nature operating, so no planets or stars too in many of these postulated, other universes and their configurations.
