Einstein had it. He just looked to far:
Light Falls. And Light gravitates.
That's all there is to it.

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=5929In order to help avoid confusion it seems appropriate to state the goal of S&D clearly: We explore claims of and evidence for unexplained phenomena. Thoughtful speculation and explanations are welcome.
With the exception of links to published papers in the Credible Anomalies Napster, which then directs the reader to a mainstream forum, we do not explore mainstream subject matter; and especially not new ideas about physics. Questions about mainstream subjects should be submitted to a regular forum. Also, speculation regarding mainstream subject matter is not appropriate here. Theories meeting the specified criteria are posted in the independent research sub-forum above. https://www.physicsforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=146
Although unavoidably linked with subjects such as UFOs, we do not discuss conspiracy theories for their own sake.
Thank you for your participation and cooperation in maintaining an interesting and respectable forum that everyone can enjoy.

Unifying gravity and electromagnetism would provide a more comprehensive and consistent explanation of the fundamental forces of the universe. It could potentially lead to a more complete theory of quantum gravity, which would allow us to better understand phenomena such as black holes and the Big Bang.
While it is a complex and ongoing challenge, many scientists believe that it is possible to unify these two fundamental forces. There have been several promising theories proposed, such as string theory and loop quantum gravity, but more research and experimentation is needed to confirm their validity.
If a unified theory is achieved, it could potentially lead to the development of new technologies and applications, such as improved methods of energy generation and advanced space travel. It could also provide a deeper understanding of the natural world, leading to advancements in fields such as medicine and materials science.
One of the main challenges is that gravity and electromagnetism have very different characteristics and behaviors at a fundamental level. Gravity is a result of the curvature of spacetime, while electromagnetism is a force between charged particles. Additionally, our current understanding of gravity breaks down at the quantum level, making it difficult to reconcile with electromagnetism.
One way to test a unified theory is through experiments and observations. Scientists can use particle accelerators or telescopes to study the behavior of matter and energy at very small and large scales. Additionally, mathematical models and simulations can also be used to test the predictions of a unified theory and see if they match with real-world observations.
