What's to blame for gravity?
That's the sixty four thousand dollar question. Or it would have been in the 1960s, in today's economy it's more like the 64 billion dollar question. Gravity is directly linked to mass, but what exactly mass does to cause gravity is still a mystery.

If can explain it to your satisfaction will you be satisfied; if he can't will you continue to assail our senses with your mumbo-jumbo?
That being said, it doesn't have to please me; it simply needs to not counter reality on any scientific level.
