Zodiac....I believe gravity is a constant and, although still
theory, gravitons exist tho very difficult to find as they have
no mass. The major difference between gravity and the other three
forces is its pervasive nature. In its most striking and potent
form, it prevents light from escaping from a black hole once
inside the event horizon. It also, in Einstein's general theory,
causes space/time to be curved. How that is possible, I have no
clue but this effect is pretty much accepted by physicists. As to
whether it may be applied consistently and is a useful model for
the universe, I think most definitely. It is probably the most
esoteric of the four forces and is the main roadblock in finding
a GUT that unifies the strong and weak nuclear forces, electro-
magnetism and, of ourse, gravity.

I would be interested if you have read of any recent discoveries
or theories regarding gravity as it is the least understood of
the four. And though I believe you started the name calling and
ridicule, I propose a truce. Who knows, if we ever met in person,
we might find we share many mutual interests and opinions.
