Gravity is often noted as the missing component in the standard model of physics, which effectively describes the other three fundamental forces. While the standard model does not incorporate gravity, this absence does not imply a contradiction with general relativity. The article referenced highlights the ongoing challenges in unifying gravity with quantum mechanics. Researchers continue to explore theories that could bridge this gap and provide a comprehensive understanding of all forces. The discussion underscores the complexity of integrating gravity into existing frameworks of physics.

Why do I keep hearing gravity does not fit into the standard model of physics?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
