how can you decide which is stronger between gravity and electricity. aren't they governed by kqq'/r^2 and Gmm'/r^2.... so which will win is solely determined by the ratio of kqq' to Gmm'. shouldn't the real question be which tends to be larger given typical matter... I mean... electron to electron obviously electricity wins over gravity.
neutron to neutron gravity wins right, since there is no electric force.
what's the weak force anyway?
can anyone pt. me to a link or have a good discussion on the subject?

Start at the first reference and do the calculations. You'll see the difference. See the second reference for the weak force. Between neutrons in the nucleus, the strong interaction is dominant.
If you're trying to learn this stuff without learning physics, it won't work. You've shown that you're interested in these things. Start by getting a grasp of the fundamentals. It's fine to take detours, but the understanding you want takes more than a one-paragraph answer here. Start looking at some books on the subject. Don't worry about the stuff you don't understand or the math you can't do. I'm there also. These authors spent years learning the subjects, and months putting their understanding into writing. Get as much from their work as you can.
