The really great difficulty is no one knows really what the gravitational force is. It is pissweak compared to the other forces. Then we have the conundrum of what causes mass.

Obviously we need mass to have gravitational effects. The Higgs boson is a mechanism we barely understand,

Like most of esoteric science we are just intelligent apes grasping for knowledge not fruit.
