Explain to me the Strong and Weak Nuclear force.

I understand the way gravity interacts with the universe as well as the force of electromagnetism, but I'm confused as to how the strong and weak nuclear force is propagated and what effect it has on anything.

The weak interaction is mediated by W and Z bosons, which are unusually massive, and so decay very quickly. The short decay time of W and Z bosons contributes to the comparatively weak strength and short distance of the weak interaction. The primary "effect it has on anything" is the beta decay form of nuclear decay. Beta decay allows, for example, the decay of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14.

The strong interaction is mediated by massless particles called gluons. It binds quarks together to form hadrons, including protons and neutrons. The strong interaction is about 100 times stronger than electromagnetism at the atomic level, and most of the mass-energy of protons and neutrons comes from the field energy of the strong force. Similar to how electromagnetism is divided into + and - charges, the strong interaction has three "color" charges. The color charge is balanced within a proton or neutron, but there is a residual strong force, also called the nuclear force, that acts between protons and neutrons which holds them together in atomic nuclei.
