I know how it exists, but does science know why gravity exists? Why do objects in a vacuum coalesce?
Do we know why gravity exists?

The force of gravity is constant all across the universe. Why does matter attract other matter? I'm guessing it has to do with electromagnetic forces that are inherent in the chemical composition of matter itself. Every single atom has an electromagnetic charge, we know positive attracts negative (and vice versa)

because it has to... if it didn't, we wouldn't be here to ask the question...
I don't get how you mean why?
I don't get how you mean why?
Is it? I've never been... but assuming it is, so (supposedly) is the speed of light. That doesn't make "empty space" as bright as the sun

We don't know why anything exists. Maybe gravity was created as a practical joke?

the how is the why. to assume there is a why beyond the how is to believe there is a Creator, and said creator us up there wherever he/she is in your thought process feeling they have a need to suss out a reason for things to exist that you understand. small minded thought, and the person that believes that gets pissed when every question isn't answered at the end of a book or didn't like the end of Lost or Mass Effect3. shit exists just because, just because of shit beyond our comprehension as a species. like gravity.

Isnt that, in itself, a little closed minded; putting limits on what humans are capable of doing?
Beyond compression and general ignorance are two completely different things.

there is more dark matter than there is matter. we still don't know what dark matter is, but we know it has gravity.

A:
Good question. I wish I knew, but that's the way it is. Scientists can explain lots of facts and effects of gravity and know why the earth attracts an apple and why and how it falls, but we do not know why gravity exists. This is one of the great mysteries of life. There are additional forces other than gravity that affect our lives, such a electric and magnetic forces as well as the forces that keep the nucleus of the atom together. We can study them and explain lots of facts and consequences BUT we don't know why they exist. Why don't you become a scientist and figure it out for us.
