Einstein talks about the four forces of the Universe: Gravity, the
electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

because it attracts to itself.

The reason Ein Sof is interested in Malchut, Shechinah, (as in "Veshachanty
B'Tocham"), is because Malchut is so attractive. The Zohar says that the King
is willing to lie down on the floor, as long as he can be with his beloved the
Queen. This is the same attraction that a man feels when he falls in love with
a woman. This is the feeling that says: "I'm willing to give up everything in
order to be with that person."

My Rolfer, Joseph Heller ( founder of Heller work ) once pointed out to me that
what proves that Love is a basic energy in the universe is the law of Gravity:
Two bodies in space attract each other!

This is the wonderful thing about Ahavah (Love). The numerical value of A H V H
is 13. And when we have two that are engaged in Ahavah we get 26, which is the
numerical value of God's name Y H V H.

The strong nuclear force keeps electrons away from each other and from the
nucleus, so that the atom doesn't collapse. This is very similar to what
happens in Binah.

Binah deals with distinction and separations. "Mevin davar mitoch davar": One
thing is opposed to another and is understood in comparison to the other.

The week nuclear force gets expressed as a spark. Its time is very short. It
makes an impression and then is gone.

In "Patah Eliyahu" (The Tikuney Zohar) it is said that in God itself we have no
"Yediah" or "Hasagah", no grasp or knowledge. But in God's "Levushim",
garments, we can have a grasp. The sefirot are those garments that allow us to
have knowledge of God. We can have a "Yediah" in the sefirot as they come and
replicate themselves as fractals in our life. By understanding the Four forces
of the Universe as Ima, Abba (Chochmah and Binah), Ze'er Anpin and Malchut, as
a set of Divine garments, we get a wonderful angle through which we can get to
know God.
