That video is not persuasive - every single thing described there would apply to a charged object in an electrical field. So why is charge a force and gravity

So why is charge a force and gravity not?
- rdtsc 5y agoCharge is not a force either! It’s a property of objects. In that respect you may be interested in the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_radiation_of_charged_particles_in_a_gravitational_field https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_radiation_of_char...
- nsonha 5y agoYou could've said "no such thing as a force" instead. I believe the person meant "electromagnetic force" instead of "charge". Question remains.
- rdtsc 5y ago> I believe the person meant "electromagnetic force" instead of "charge". Question remains. But those are different things... The question is answered by stating that all the other forces are explained by the standard model, with gauge bosons mediating their interactions, while gravity is currently best explained using general relativity. The funny part is, of course, that we were ready to let go, without a severance package even I presume :-) those academics who did not believe that gravity is a force. Given that the leading theory states that gravity is indeed not a force.
