Nothing in nature prevents gravity from just being super weak. Some forces could just be super weak.
The unspoken premise of gravity being weaker than other forces is that all forces were unified at some point. So iff you assume all forces in nature were once one force, then gravity being weak is an anomaly.
- eggn00dles 2y agoif you use planck units instead of anthropocentric ones gravity isnt weak. its the mass of the proton that is much less than its charge. but why should those two values be equivalent to begin with?
