has anyone even figured out what gravity is?

Einstein did. It's the curvature of spacetime.

Post #32 ... Is the spacetime curvature basically a temporal or spatial phenomenon? I ask because all other primary forces 9electromagnetic, strong and weak nuclear) we're familiar with appear to be influencing the spatial parameters of spacetime, while gravity may be influencing the temporal and that's why a unifying theory has not been found as yet. Perhaps, maybe ... as in every mass lays along the relative future of every other mass? [Ugh, this is gonna be tough away from the safety of my porch while I await the veridct and risk the sleights of mind from Vade and Patrick and their ilk. I ask myself, is it worth it?]

And to think I always was under the impression that it's the spaceature of curvetime.

Dang.

I guess he didn't tell anybody else. I'm smart, but no Einstein. What does what you said mean?
