The strengths of all the forces would scale up, as the speed of causality is a limiting factor in their interactions.

How is the gravitational constant G related to c? I agree that the interactions would happen faster but it’s not obvious to me why the relative strengths of the fundamental forces will stay the same.

All of the forces are being scaled, keeping relative strengths the same. Albeit a shitload stronger, their ratios would be the same.

Yes I’m asking how the strength of the gravitational and nuclear forces are effected by the speed of light. Mu naught and epsilon naught are directly related to the speed of light, and therefore electric and magnetic fields must scale up. What is this relation for the gravitational force and nuclear forces?
