Spooky action at a distance - gravitons

[keepit]

What is the explanation for gravity being weaker than expected?

"Expected"? What do you expect?
Find the reason why gravity is so weak compared to other interactions, and you'll win the nobel prize. Small extra dimensions are a possible explanation, but they are just a hypothesis. There does not have to be some deeper reason at all.

This has nothing to do with "spooky action at a distance" or gravitons.

"action at a distance"

I thought "action at a distance" was a term used for both gravity and entanglement.

"spooky action at a distance", the title of your post, is a term sometimes used to describe entanglement. As mfb said, this has NOTHING to do with gravity or gravitrons

Well gravity certainly has action at a distance, as does the electromagnetic force and the strong force and the weak force. There's nothing spooky about any of it though, that's a term used only with entanglement.

EDIT: the distances involved with the various forces are extremely different and in practical terms, gravity is the one most often associated with "action at a distance" (but again, nothing spooky going on).

so what is the mechanism of gravity?

Find a definitive answer for that and you will get a Nobel prize. Unite gravity with Quantum Mechanics and you'll get TWO Nobel prizes

If gravity could warp "subtract" space time 1 unit "per moment", then the second "moment" would show acceleration, 1/100 first moment, 1/99 second moment.
