Was I foolish in thinking that gravity works at all scales?

As a layman, no. "Our Ignorance About Gravity" at <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTMELHUAzSM> explains what we don't know about gravity at small and large scales.

Well not at all scales. Gravity at quantum scales is still not well understood.

Also the only way to claim it works as expected at any scale is to test it out. This allows scientists to claim that the theory checks out at this scale too.

If gravity is warping of spacetime and works differently/fails to work at very small scales, is it 'space' that really failed?
