Einstein argued that gravity is not a real force, but instead it just distorts space time. Centrifugal force is not a true force either. It’s just constantly changing velocity (vector). I’m starting to think there is no such thing as fundamental forces. Maybe what’s really going on is that subatomic particles are distorting space-time around them as well. Force = mass x acceleration. Acceleration = distance / time ^2. When either distance (by vector) or time is distorted, acceleration is created and force as well.
I think what is fundamental are inertia and quantum fields. I don’t think space-time nor forces are really fundamental, just emergent properties that can be measured. https://www.discovermagazine.com/the-sciences/how-to-understand-einsteins-theory-of-gravity
Einstein’s general relativity may be complicated, but it’s our best way of understanding the universe.
