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.
1) Best answer right now is a little shrug and "I dunno."
2) Best answer right now is "the Higgs Boson" aka The God Particle (stupid name imo)
3) Yes, as we have that right now. We have a theory of gravity atm, not a law of gravity.
