*> We don't even know yet what gravity is.* I think General Relativity gives us a better fundamental understanding of what gravity is than we have for understanding what electromagnetism is, all Einstein starts with is the existence of movement, that is spacetime, and mass.

Science can tell us how things work, but as for why...... logically the chain of why questions either goes on forever or it doesn't and ends in a brute fact, after that there is no why, that's just the way things are.
