We have some pretty good ideas about how gravity and magnetism and the various forces are put together, and how they relate to each other, but when it
comes down to how they actually "work," we're still pretty much in the dark. There are a lot of crackpots out there who want to try to "prove
Einstein wrong," but Einstein and those who came before and after him were no dummies.
But science is a flexible thing, and if somebody is able to come up with a good, well-founded theory that explains all the observed data while
advancing knowledge along the way, they just have to present it correctly and have it reviewed. It may take a little time for people to test it to
make sure it works, but that's what they had to do with Einstein, too. Science will listen.
Personally, I suspect that electromagnetism and gravity and the various other forces are more multi-dimensional than we're used to dealing with and
comprehending (with elements obviously missing from the lop-sided Periodic Table, and things tending to "fall" into "nothing"), but we'll
eventually get a handle on them. But I'm no theoretical physicist, so what do I know?
