Summary

In this multi-messenger astronomy era, all the observational probes are improving their sensitivities and overall performance. The Focusing on Relativistic universe and Cosmic Evolution (FORCE) mission, the product of a JAXA/NASA collaboration, will reach a 10 times higher sensitivity in the hard X-ray band (E > 10 keV) in comparison with any previous hard x-ray missions, and provide simultaneous soft x-ray coverage. FORCE aims to be launched in the early 2030s, providing a perfect hard x-ray complement to the ESA flagship mission Athena. FORCE will be the most powerful x-ray probe for discovering obscured/hidden black holes and studying high energy particle acceleration in our Universe and will address how relativistic processes in the universe are realized and how these affect cosmic
