In [[theoretical physics]], the '''hierarchy problem''' is the problem concerning the large discrepancy between aspects of the weak force and gravity.<ref>{{cite web |date=14 August 2011 |title=The Hierarchy Problem |website=Of Particular Significance |url=http://profmattstrassler.com/articles-and-posts/particle-physics-basics/the-hierarchy-problem/ |access-date=13 December 2015 |first=Matt |last=Strassler}}</ref> There is no scientific consensus on why, for example, the [[weak force]] is 10<sup>24</sup> times stronger than [[gravity]].
