I was watching Dawkins enemy of reason last night and he seems to think science can explain everything, so I am wondering how a scientist would explain gravity. They would probably say something like, 'it exists because all masses attract each other' and give some gravitation equations to describe it mathematically. But I have never seen a scientific explanation of WHY all masses attract. Does anyone have any ideas why?

That's the problem. We're great at explaining "what" gravity does mathematically but as far as explaining what or how it is that's why we end up chasing tails imho

Gravity is the act of God, within all of creation, inhaling. While radiation of Light, such as from the sun, is the act of God exhaling.
By absorbing the light through meditation you are inhaling God's breath.

Gravity as some scientists say has a force .
Thats crap !
Gravity is is a word used to describe the affect of the curvature of space surrounding a mass .
For instance , when a mass is in space it curves space .
Rather like placing a ball on a cloth suspended in mid air .
The cloth will tilt from all directions towards the mass ( ball )
the CURVE and DIP of that cloth is the affect of that ball on the cloth ( mass in space )
the AFFECT ( of that curve upon other objects) to other objects placed on that cloth ( coursed by the ball ) is what we call gravity .
there is NO force , just affect .
thats how I understand it .
WHY do things attract to each other in space ?
because of the curvature affect ( dip in space ).

More Gravity Goggles
The electromagnetic FORCE which happens to be 39 orders of magnitude more powerful than Gravity is the result of EM fields strongly interacting with the charged particles that make up PLASMA.
Read Maxwell's equations after James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879).

eh what's the curvature of space? I'm a trainee science teacher and I have not heard that term. Dip in space? I don't know what that is hun.

Thats exactly what I say dude. As soon as I get some money, I'm going to start a program to accumulate all of America's most obese people into one transmetropoliton area to see if I can trigger some magnetic shift in the Earth's rotation for "redistributing the weight" so rapidly and unevenly.
Even a slight alteration will debunk those that called guys like us mad. Not that we'll be recorded on youtube or anything. As the magnetic compromise will result in most electronics malfunctioning, life could very well end as we know it as we hurl back to the early 19th century, planes can't land properly, and people die, the economy collapses.
But maybe moderators at physics forums should've thought about that before they banned me. I am that petty. This isn't about me being right, this is about not letting me publically voice being wrong!

But why does the dip make other masses move down this dip due to the curvature effect?
