Gravity is one of the essential forces in nature. If you want to explain it in simpler terms it is not possible because gravity is the simpler thing. You can use gravity to explain other things, but you cannot use other things to explain gravity.



That’s not really true. The other 3 “fundamental” forces are irreducible yet still entirely explained by the standard model.


Well, gravity is similarly explained by general relativity.
