"What" Causes this force?
-
At the most fundamental level of Quantum gravity, we will we find "elementary" Gauge Particles -- The Gravitons which are analogue of Photons for Electromagnetism and Gluons for Quantum Chromodynamics
-
Most Physicists believe all forces can be described by a unified theory at the Quantum level but this is still speculative.
-
The Graviton is unusual as has Spin 2 (Corresponding to two indices in metric tensor gmn we will soon study) wheras other force quanta are spin 1
-
For instance, spin 1 Photon corresponds to single index vector field Am
-
However we will study the classical theory which is sufficient for all observations
