Supernova or Blackhole would be my guess ? If you mean Earth bound, probally earthquake ( can shape the world ) or a flood.

The colo(u)r force between quarks is the strongest known force.

...weather...supernova...black hole...big bang...pulsar... Technically, none of those are forces: they're either physical objects or phenomena. But if we're to include those, the term 'powerful' needs clarifying.

Just so you know, force != force

That's a common mistake made by physicists. Most powerful refers to a combination of overall size and destructive capability..

Wow! Really?

That's a common mistake made by physicists. Most powerful refers to a combination of overall size and destructive capability.. Code:
Code
powerfuladjective having power.  powernoun 1 the ability to do something or act in a particular way. 2 the capacity to influence other people or the course of events. 3 a right or authority given or delegated to a person or body. 4 political authority or control. 5 physical strength or force. 6 a country viewed in terms of its international influence and military strength: a world power. 7 capacity or performance of an engine or other device. 8 energy that is produced by mechanical, electrical, or other means. 9 Physics the rate of doing work, measured in watts or horse power. Mathematics the product obtained when a number is multiplied by itself a certain number of times.

Yup! It's amazing what you can accomplish with math when you don't adhere to basic algebra!

x + y = z for 0 < z < pi [shocked] Now that's real maths!

I sort of remember seeing those problems. I forgot everything I knew about math two days after my last linear algebra exam.

That´s nothing,
now try calculating where all my money keeps going.

I'm trying my best but I need to resolve Riemann hypothesis to do this: once I've got that pinned down, I'll let you know where all your money has gone in no time at all!

So profound. Have you tried writing poetry?

Risco and this statement seem oddly inseparable.

They are more products of a variety of forces, in terms of which phenomena and power output in watts, out of all the categorized objects, quasars would have to be the most energetic of all known.

We observe 4 fundamental forces. The real question is why they are forces in the first place, why they exist, how they evolved into their present state and why they interact the way they do.

Thats really all i want to know, ill die a very happy man if i had that answer.
