What is the most fundamental force of nature?

"We do not know!"

Hmm. All forces of nature are fundamental. But which one is the most fundamental?

Hmm. Gravity or the gravitational force/spacetime phenomenon can only arise only when mass/matter is present. So it cannot be the most fundamental force of nature. It may be a conditional force of nature. Right?

Darn it! We were rooting for it...

If we are correct about gravity, then gravity is quantized. And moreover, the photon (a fundamental force carrier) and the graviton (a conditional force carrier) are deeply related/connected.

Hmm. How much mass and what distribution of mass over space and over time are two questions that may concern us about the emergence of gravity.

Remark: Our ideas here are probably all wrong! But we continue until the nonsense becomes unbearable.

Remark: Our ideas must be reinforced/supported by some mathematical equations from quantum physics and from the theory of relativity.
