    Challenges→It is natural to ask whether gravity and electromagnetism have a common geometric origin.

    Subsequent physics revealed additional fundamental forces, undermining the implicit assumption that gravity and electromagnetism form a natural, exhaustive pair warranting joint geometric treatment.

    Key Terms

    Exhaustive(describing the relationship between X1, X2, and X3)
    A set of options that covers all possibilities with no gaps—like saying a coin must be either heads or tails, with no other outcomes possible.
    Fundamental forces(as used in physics and philosophy of science)
    The basic interactions that make things happen in the universe—like gravity pulling objects together or electricity pushing them apart. Scientists thought there were only a few of these basic forces.
    Geometric treatment(as used in physics and mathematics)
    Using the language and tools of geometry (shapes, spaces, mathematical relationships) to describe or explain something.
    Implicit assumption(as used in logic and argumentation)
    Something that is assumed to be true without being stated directly or proven first.
