Freaky Thing About Gravity

Did you know that scientists have absolutely no idea about what causes gravity? None whatsover. I'm not making this up.

Sure, they can model what gravity does in a particular case, but not a clue about why. Does that strike anybody as odd?

It gets even better: scientists don't even have any plausible theories about the mechanism of how gravity operates. You'd think they'd say, "well, it might be a, b or c, but we just don't know yet." But they don't. They apparantly can't even dream up a theory about the mechanism of how gravity works. You probably think I'm joking but I'm not. Look it up.

When did you assume that scientists knew how/why gravity works?

The only explinations we have, thusfar, are regarding the nature of gravity: what it seems to be like. Relativity was a massive breakthrough, and the answers to your questions will be the next, perhaps. The formulation of string theory depends on these answers currently, and I'm guessing it's the focus of a lot of effort.
