But is it fundamental though?

[-] cynar@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

We don't know. Right now, relativity and QM fundamentally disagree on what gravity is. Both are also hugely accurate in their predictions. QM treats it as a force comparable to EM or the strong force. GR says it's space itself moving. The force we experience is just a reaction to us trying to stay still, as space moves through us.

Beyond that, defining anything as fundamental is a challenge. How are you using fundamental?
