Where Does Gravity Come From
We know a lot about gravity, but some basic questions remain unanswered:
1) What is gravity?
2) Where does gravity come from?
3) Would it be possible to have a universe without a law of gravity?
Using the "God of the gaps" argument, there are some pretty major gaps here.
Why do scientists assume that gravity is a given?
Imagine a universe where matter does not attract other matter?
Since we do not know what gravity is, we cannot say such a universe is impossible.
But one thing is certain, there could be no life in such a universe.
