Abstract

The weak gravity conjecture, at the simplest level stating that ``gravity is the weakest force,'' has motivated many recent works aiming to understand quantum gravity and to put constraints on field theories that can be coupled to quantum gravity, including the one describing the real world. This review surveys the motivation, historical development, and recent advances related to this conjecture.
