Gravity is by far the weakest. In fact, it's about 10^39 times weaker than thestrong nuclear force, which holds atoms together.So, why is that? Well, there are a few theories that attempt to explain this. One of them is calledthe "graviton theory," which posits that gravity is caused by the exchange of particles calledgravitons. These particles are thought to be extremely light and have very little energy, whichwould explain why gravity is so weak.Another theory is the "brane theory," which suggests that our universe is a "brane," or athree-dimensional membrane, floating in a higher-dimensional space. According to this theory,gravity arises from the curvature of the brane, and the weakness of gravity is due to the fact thatthe brane has very little curvature.--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/arsen-karapetyan/support

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a condition when your immune system cells attack your healthy thyroid gland cells, which then leads to you losing the ability to produce enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid hormone is the main regulator of your body's metabolism. Hypothyroidism causes many different symptoms, such as low energy, feeling cold all the time, constipation, loss of memory etc. Synthroid (levothyroxin) is one of the medications that is essentially a thyroid hormone replacement. It replenishes the thyroid hormone that you have lost with the loss of the thyroid gland cells.
