netwolf - a small set of the things we don't understand about gravity

1. Why is it so weak compared to the other forces - does it leak into other dimensions?
2. Is it quantised into packets or can it have any value?
3. Can it be negative under any circumstances?
4. Does it have a carrier - like the graviton or Higgs bosun or is it more like a Higgs field in which other particles interact?
5. If it has a carrier is their a minimum energy level this carrier can have and if so how? How do you represent a curvature of spacetime with 10 ^ -120 joules of energy?
6. How does it interact with the other 3 forces at sub-atomic distances?
7. How does it operate and propogate in the space between gravitationally bound galactic clusters wherein relativity does not strictly have to apply?
