Well, its a geometric deformation of space-time because the displacement by mass
I put it in my force balance equations, it's a force. It doesn't matter that it's from curving spacetime rather than exchanging particles, it still exerts force on things.
But the point of general relativity is that a free-floating observer is equivalent to an observer in free space. That means that falling due to gravity, which you call a force, is an unaccelerated movement, i.e. no force.
Knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is still not putting it in a fruit salad.
Gravity isn't a force. Its effects can be mapped to an equivalent pseudo force and used as such. Outside of general relativity, or Quantum mechanics discussions, gravity is a force.
But is it fundamental though?
Yes it is. We just don't know what makes it work
In our current understanding of physics, it's an effect from the curvature of space and not a force. Quantizing gravity results in unphysical divergences.
Whether there will be a way to model gravity as an exchange of particles, we can't know for sure. So according to our current knowledge, it's not a force.
I'm no scientist, but there is some debate about whether it's a fundamental force. Some think it might be like centrifugal force which isn't "real" but shows up in a certain reference frame. Gravity might actually be a result of thermodynamics and entropy.
Depends on your definition. If you stop at quantum mechanics way of defining a force with boson exchange then you may also say gravity doesn't exist, because it's not included in the standard model for now.
Well, firstly, we can quantize gravity pretty easily, it just has unphysical divergences.
But secondly, I think it makes most sense to talk about the current accepted physics because we don't know how quantum gravity will work.
Gravity isn't a force tho...
