- codethief 3y agoThis is splitting hairs. Our entire understanding of what gravity is and how it works rests on GR. If GR "broke down" in major ways, then the same would hold true for gravity, as we understand it.
- vbezhenar 3y agoJust call it dark gravity. Problem solved.
- jfengel 3y agoGeneral relativity is more fundamental than gravity. If general relativity breaks down, it completely redefines what we think gravity is. And much, much more -- practically everything beyond our solar system has to be reconsidered.
