Interesting use of the boiling metaphor, and the fluidity of the "ultimate substrate," but I think his idea that the energy of a force is due strictly to it's scale is highly oversimplistic and abstract...and incorrect. The reason that the nuclear force is stronger than gravitation, or electricity, is a function of organization, not merely scale. Scale in this case is incidental to our persepctive on this organization. The level of atomic formation (sub-atomic level) is simply the closest "basement level" (as it is called in Sorce Theory/SpinbitZ) where continuity is at its superfluidic maximum and has the properties necessary (e.g. ~zero viscosity, ~zero friction and high compressibility (fermi pressure)) to form the highly compressed, highly stabilized, primary types of matter-units, e.g. the proton or basic atomic nucleus. According to SpinbitZ, which incorporates the empirical scaling relations of the Self-Similar Cosmological Model [Rob Oldershaw], the same type of units occur at the Planck level as well. While there are far more units per unit area, however, there is far less energy per self-similar type of Planck-unit. Furthermore, these harmonically self-equilibrating units, being ~10^20 times smaller than the proton, are far more difficult to disrupt in their internal patterning so as to release their energy. It merely ends up statistically emerging onto the properties of the atoms which are made out of them, such as mass, etc.
