I'm not sure how EM and Gravity could be unified as a single force, especially since the best theory of gravity that's out there describes gravity as curvature in spacetime, not a force.

If this is true, the literature I've read--as a layman myself reading from sources written for the layman on the subject--is wildly misleading.

i.e. from the Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

>Other theorists seek to quantize the gravitational field by the modelling behaviour of its hypothetical force carrier, the graviton and achieve quantum gravity (QG).
