Few scientists understand that Newton's law of "universal" gravitation is valid only for two separate objects found on the surface of the Earth. And then, it is due to the pressure exerted by the ether.
Newton's gravitational law cannot be applied to a situation where M = the mass of the Earth, and m = mass of a simple object. Why? Because Newton had to first prove that the Earth is a globe, which he never did. You cannot apply F = GMm/r^2 between two planets either: Newton had to first prove that the Earth is indeed rotating around its own axis, which he never did. He assumed that the Earth is a globe and that it is revolving around the Sun, without having any proof at his disposal.
The derivation of Newton's law of gravity using the ether pressure gradient:

The formula is identical to Newton's. It is ONLY valid for two objects found on the surface of the Earth. There is no attraction between the Earth and another body, or between two planets.
The greatest mathematician of the 19th century, the author of the most complex asymptotic expansion ever (Riemann-Siegel formula), absolutely was a brilliant physicist as well: he solved the mystery of terrestrial gravity in 1853.
Reviving Gravity's Aether in Einstein's Universe
B. Riemann stated in 1853 that "gravitational aether sinks toward massive objects where it is absorbed, at a rate proportional to their mass, and is then emitted into another spatial dimension".
Imagine this, as early as 1853, Riemann was mentioning the hyperspace of quantum entanglement.
Quantum Gravity is not a quantization of the spacetime coordinates, metric.....If this were the case, one would have had quantized the spacetime coordinates long ago. In String Theory, from the two-dim world sheet point of view , the spacetime coordinates are nothing but a finite number of scalar fields whose quantization is essentially trivial by selecting the conformal or orthonormal gauge. The same arguments applies with the ( linearized ) spin two graviton. Quantum Gravity it is something much deeper than the naive notion of coordinates and gravitons. It is something that doesn’t need any spacetime background nor metrics whatsoever. Morever, it involves something that disposes of the ill-conceived notion of having a fixed dimension. The classical spacetime that we perceive with our senses is just a long distance averaging effect associated with a quantum network of processeses of a deeper underlying Quantum Universe. To merge Quantum Mechanics with Relativity it is necessary to enlarge the Einsteinian view of Relativity to a New Relativity Principle.
Antimatter is not missing: it has always been right in front of the quantum physicists, who are just now beginning to understand that the unification of GR with QM requires Knot Theory, right-handed spin gravitons and left-handed spin antigravitons as closed loop strings.
Mainstream quantum physicists are starting to infer that positrons and preons do not annihilate each other:

Antimatter = antigravity = antigravitons = laevorotatory positrons/subquarks.
Photons = bosons
Antibosons = antiphotons
Exclusive: This Wild Paper Suggests Gravity Is Just a Product of Quantum Mechanics
"In our proposal, space-time does not pre-exist, it is the result of a physical process by which the subquantum medium goes from a chaotic state to a more organised one."
This subquantum medium is something that Castro describes as "a kind of primordial foam from where space-time itself emerges".
Spacetime as an Emergent Phenomenon: A Possible Way to Explain Entanglement and the Tunnel Effect
The deepest connection between gravity and quantum entanglement:
“The universality of the gravitational interaction comes directly from the universality of entanglement- it is not possible to have stress-energy that doesn’t source the gravitational field because it is not possible to have degrees of freedom that don’t contribute to entanglement entropy.”

Universality of Gravity from Entanglement
Fundamental physics started the 20th century with the twin revolutions of relativity and quantum mechanics, and much of the second half of the century was devoted to the construction of a theoretical structure unifying these radical ideas. Yet storm clouds are gathering, which point towards a new set of revolutions on the horizon in the 21st century. Space-time is doomed—how can it emerge from more primitive building blocks?
(N. Arkani-Hamed (IAS))
Spacetime is doomed. It, and its particles, cannot be fundamental in physical theory, but must emerge from a more fundamental theory. I review the converging evidence for this claim from physics and evolution, and then propose a new way to think of spacetime: as a data-compressing and error-correcting channel for information about fitness. I propose that a theory of conscious agents is a good candidate for the more fundamental theory to replace spacetime. Spacetime then appears as one kind of interface for communication between conscious agents.
Spacetime is doomed. There is no such thing as spacetime fundamentally in the actual underlying description of the laws of physics. That's very startling, because what physics is supposed to be about is describing things as they happen in space and time. So if there is no spacetime, it's not clear what physics is about.
