Abstract

It is known that there are exactly four fundamental forces of nature: gravity forces, forces corresponding to weak interactions, electromagnetic forces, and forces corresponding to strong interactions. In this paper, we provide a possible explanation of why there are exactly four fundamental forces: namely, we relate this number with the dimension of physical space-time.
