gravity is expressed geometrically. is this expression unique to gravity or are there formallism that allow charge/EM, color/strong force, and weak force to also be expressed geometrically?

Heim Theory.
 
That's actually what physicists used to look for. It was the hope of Einstein to explain all the forces in geometrical terms. But since they have had more luck combining the other three forces, physicists are trying to express gravity in quantum terms. And it was done with String Theory. The theory actually requires the existence of a particle called a graviton. One goal of modern physics is to locate these gravitons and find out where they come from.

You might want to take a look at (my) posts #6 and #8 in https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=684671".

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
