Summary In beta decay a neutron releases a W boson, the charge carrier of the weak nuclear force, to become a proton. But this only occurs if the W boson has a very low mass compared to it's 'normal' mass which is highly improbable. So the weak force appears weak. In contrast the Top quark has a mass larger than the W boson so it decays to a bottom quark almost instantly and the weak force appears strong relative to the other fundamental forces.
