Gravity, the only fundamental force.

Since the time Newton discovered gravity more than three centuries back, there has been much research and debate on what gravity is? Newton had proposed that it is the attraction between two bodies having certain mass. Bigger the product of masses, more the attraction but it reduced as the square of the distance between them.
Einstein told us that gravity is the curvature of space-time fabric. Mass of an object curves this fabric as if a ball is kept on a taut rubber sheet. More the mass of the object, more the curvature and hence the gravity.
Standard model of atom gives it the shape of a particle and calls it graviton. But no graviton has ever been observed.
In spite of above, we still find it difficult to answer the question about gravity why is it different from other fundamental forces?
To understand gravity, we must look into the concept of medium of space as proposed by British scientist Maxwell in 1860's along with the method of conversion of medium of space into matter.
There will be people who would like to point out that the concept of medium of space was discarded in 1887 because of an experiment conducted by Michelson and Morley. I agree with them to the extent that medium of space could not be found in that experiment, but not that the medium of space does not exist. There is a difference between saying that we could not find something and that something does not exist.
When this medium of space is converted into matter, gravity is created. It can be shown mathematically. Using this method, we can relate other fundamental forces with gravity and can prove that gravity is the only fundamental force.
This method is explained in the books 'Lines of Space' and 'The Big Bang and Lines of Space'.
