I love that there are people far more educated than me who are also paid to explore these topics.

A while ago I was pretty certain that gravity was emergent and was caused by Gluon Colour Confinement. Here was my incredibly naive rationale:

Assumption for the purposes of this idea that gravity is not an absolute, gravity is an emergent phenomenon.

My logic

Gravity around a black hole Photons can't escape Heavier particles and even molecules can't escape

Gravity around a planet sized mass Photons can escape Heavier particles and even molecules can escape

Gravity is not a force that acts at a distance (absolute) Spacetime is being dragged into any object with mass (emergent)

We are not being 'pulled' into the earth We are being 'kept under' by a shower of space time being consumed

---

What causes this 'consumption' of spacetime around objects with mass?

Gluon color confinement
