B How does gravity's warping of spacetime appear first among the forces?

[syfry]

TL;DR

Gravity is first among the major fundamental interactions in our very early universe, but how? Gravity is a curvature of spacetime instead of an interaction.

The Wikipedia section below says that gravity is the earliest to appear out of the fundamental interactions, but wasn't high energy in every area already curving its local spacetime surroundings?

This is not something we actually know; it's based on the common speculation that, at high enough energies, gravity is unified with the Standard Model interactions. Note that the article says "currently established laws of physics may not have applied" during this period.

One of the implications of the speculation described above is that at these high energies, our classical model of spacetime breaks down and we need a quantum gravity theory (which would look like a quantum theory of the unified single interaction at these energies).
