Is not space time the geometry that seeks to measure space but not a comment upon its make up?
As you suspect the machinery of gravity interests me and I offer my own primative attempt at an answer... but my point really with Newton and Dr A was their focus was on the measuring and avoiding the machinery or a comment such that an understanding as to physical interactions could be determined..of course small prevents comment in this area .. but I say with out a feel for what is going on and leaving that out we will miss the picture...... the avoidance of Dr A and Newton as to interaction between "things" leaves gravity having to fit the work coming from the other three forces...as if gravity need not be considered when working upon them..I feel this must have lead us on a different path... but I expect that if there is a fractal nature of size..as I do..we can never really identify all the particles... there may well be not bottom limit perhaps or not upper limit.. could it be that all our massive structures form only part of something much larger but which could be considered in its right a unit..of what ever everything we conceive may form... speculation only ...
And still reading all the home work
