The important fact is that the 'rules' we came up with match the observed phenomena. The model has to match the universe, and not the other way around.Recognising that the phenominon plays by "the rules" like almost everything else in the universe seems to, does not bring us closer to knowing what it is yet. ...it just helps us to anticipate what to expect from it.
We are not discussing the validity of the Therory of Relativity...we were discussing whether or not modern science has truely defined what gravity actually IS yet. At least...that is what I have been talking about.
How can two particles, or masses, not touching each other, with absolutely nothing between them or connecting them in the vaccum of space pull each other closer together? What is actually causing that? How can we be sure that there is actually "Pulling" going on when we can not detect what, if anything, is doing it? Obviously Something is causing them to move...but what is it? ...what is it REALLY?
We only see that light and matter is being moved, and see that the patterns of those movements are consistant with other actions observed in the universe, which reaffirms our theories that things will in fact consistantly behave in this way in all scenarios...and we have isolated the conditions under which this phenominon is found to occur ... around all matter in magnitudes exactly corelated to the amount of matter present and the density of said matter.
However, in spite of all of this useful, aplicable observation, we have not yet defined and explained what force is actually responsible for it, and how it achieves it's effects. In other words...we know it exists...and we know what it does...but we don't know how it does it or what it is. The same can be said about Light. It's a particle...its not a particle...its a wave...what is it?
So many unanswered questions.
