Comparing the Universe to a Four-Layer Tortilla

I was trying to comprehend how the strong force, and gravity for that matter, as well as the electroweak and Higgs Field act together as separate forces and why the strong and weak forces aren’t just local and specific without being fields that pervade all of space-time like the Higgs. A force, word or other unknown quantum instability made a stable configuration in a singularity change.

The strong force exists just in an atomic nucleus. Yet I wondered why it can exist just in that place or relationship and not everywhere as if it were part of a universal field. One might believe it need be a universal force in order to appear anywhere particles exist to form atoms. Yet it doesn’t appear where atoms aren’t, so an alternate explanation is that the articles themselves carry a force that bonds them together in certain relationships and that seems to have some issues or complications/

I’m not a physicist; it’s just fun philosophically to consider the issues of cosmology occasionally. It is said that gravity split off first from the unified field, then the strong followed by the electro-weak that split up into the weak, electro-magnetism and the Higgs field. The best way I can regard the forces is as if they started with some divine word to move and the one force began separating like four kinds of oil in water yet remained in the water after separating. It is as if they became four layers that still exist equally all over four dimensions yet appear just when waves become tangled up in the Higgs layer and form particle waves with the strong and weak forces, gluons and quarks.

The dispersion or extension of one potential force into four layers from one dimension or virtually none at a singularity bringing into being space and time may have been a factor for the inflationary epoch. The relationship between the forces existing together in four dimensions may always be adjusting- stretching space-time faster and affecting the way gravity acts on the matter of galaxies.

Apparently energy is force, and energy and mass are convertible. In a real way every bit of matter that exists- anything that exists, is force or a tiny chip off the original force that is what the Universe is made of. What the force really is is unknown and perhaps unknowable. Jesus said that no one had seen the Father except himself. The actual reduction of the Universe to a prime mover or first cause of it’s force and substance (contingent form) is equally as mysterious to human beings and perhaps to A.I. one day. The gospel of John relates that in the beginning was the word. In an actual sense the word could be the force in infinite permutations of forms and relationships known as force and energy. The entire Universe could be an expression of the Word of God.
