    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.

        We don’t know. Right now, relativity and QM fundamentally disagree on what gravity is. Both are also hugely accurate in their predictions. QM treats it as a force comparable to EM or the strong force. GR says it’s space itself moving. The force we experience is just a reaction to us trying to stay still, as space moves through us.

        Beyond that, defining anything as fundamental is a challenge. How are you using fundamental?
