We can see the Effect of the force of gravity. But how come we can't see the force itself?

Jarle said:Is it wrong to still think that gravity is bending of spacetime, because of mass? Or is the most common way (and most expected way) to think of gravity as gravitons, or a certain particle/wave that makes gravity?
I find the bending of spacetime so nice to think of that I want it to be that way.
Gravity is a force that is invisible to the human eye. It is a phenomenon that exists between objects with mass, and is responsible for pulling objects towards each other. While we can observe the effects of gravity, such as objects falling to the ground, we cannot directly see the force itself.
The existence of gravity has been proven through scientific experiments, observations, and mathematical equations. For example, Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation explains the relationship between mass and gravitational force. This, along with other evidence, confirms the existence of gravity.
Gravity affects objects differently because it is dependent on the mass and distance between objects. The larger the mass of an object, the greater its gravitational force. Additionally, the closer two objects are to each other, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
While we cannot see gravity itself, we can observe its effects. For example, we can see the effects of gravity when objects fall to the ground, or when planets orbit around a star. We can also use tools such as gravitational wave detectors to indirectly observe the presence of gravitational waves.
There is currently no technology that allows us to directly see gravity. However, advancements in technology, such as gravitational wave detectors, have allowed us to better understand and study the effects of gravity. Scientists continue to research and develop new technologies that may one day allow us to "see" gravity.
