Did Einstein "dream" about unifying the strong and weak forces with gravity? Anyone have a good timeline on what we knew about the weak force and when? Maybe most of the developments occurred after or just prior to his death in

What would be a better title? "Unifying gravity and electromagnetism in a classical theory"?

Interesting, I've never heard that before. Do you know of a lay-man's article / book that goes more in-depth into treating mass as a curvature of space-time?

But I want to go the other way. In general relativity space-time curves because of mass. But what is mass? Just a given. But maybe mass comes about as distortion of space-time.

Maybe I'm not understanding your point, but here is my math. 80 days * 24 hour/day * 1.4 kW (L1 charging / 12A @ 120V) = 2688 kwh of electrical energy. If your EV has an efficiency of 3.5 miles/kWh, that 2688 kWh would
