Let me preface by apologizing if this isn't posted in the correct forum... If it isn't, please point me to the correct forum and I'll gladly re-post. Why is an anomaly like a BH considered a singularity? Why is a BH not considered to be a super massive object existing in our space-time...

It's a theoretical box. It could be any size you like. What was in the box prior doesn't change the idea that there's nothing but space-time in the box now. The idea is that gravity can't exist unless matter and space-time interact.

OKay... back to my original question as to why gravity is a fundamental force. I have another question. Let's say I have a box and I fill this box with space-time, the stuff that makes space, and nothing else. There would be no fundamental forces present in this box. Outside the box, I...

Then gravity would also exist between an electron's orbit and its nucleus, yes?

This is great. Thanks everyone for your input. I have another related question. So does gravity have a minimum threshold? That is, does gravity affect atoms? KG

Why is gravity considered a fundamental force and not the production of electromagnetism and weak/strong nuclear forces?

This is not a homework question. I'm 41 and have recently become interested in physics but have no background in the field. My question is this: Does General Relativity account for tension in Space-Time? That is, when space-time becomes extremely vast, where there is very little matter...
