Why do I keep hearing gravity does not fit into the standard model of physics?
The current understanding of gravity equations is that they are highly accurate in describing the behavior of gravity on a macroscopic scale. However, they are not able to fully explain the behavior of gravity on a microscopic scale or in extreme conditions such as near black holes.
Yes, there are some discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations in gravity equations. For example, the observed acceleration of galaxies in the universe does not match the predicted acceleration based on gravity equations, leading to the development of theories such as dark matter and dark energy.
General relativity is a theory that describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. It has been very successful in predicting the behavior of gravity, especially in extreme conditions. In fact, it is considered the most accurate theory of gravity to date.
Many scientists are currently working on theories that aim to unify gravity with the other three fundamental forces (electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force). However, this has proven to be a difficult task and there is currently no widely accepted theory of everything that unifies all four forces.
Advancements in technology and research have the potential to greatly impact our understanding of gravity equations. For example, new experiments and observations may provide evidence for new theories or modifications to existing ones. Additionally, advancements in computing power and simulations can help us better understand and test various theories of gravity.
