    Just quoting the article, but Dr. Wikipedia also lists them as part of the four “fundamental interactions”.

    I’m not an expert, but at everyday low energies, electromagnetism and weak interaction apparently behave differently, it’s only at higher energy that they unify into a single force (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroweak_interaction).

      Right. they appear different but fundamentally they are the same.
