> it's actually not a force, or even a field, in the same way as other forces and fields in physics That's why (for anyone who's still reading this old thread) gravity is treated separately from the other three "fundamental" forces. We can explain pretty much everything in physics with the tools of Quantum Field Theory, even if there's still some gaps, but relativity is a whole other ballgame. Not only is it totally resistant to the mathematical techniques (quantum operations are linear, relativity is very much not, to name just one issue), but it's sort of unclear what QFT looks like without spacetime as a stage to act on. If the properties of spacetime emerge from some simpler, presumably more quantum, system, we have next to no idea how. |
