Gravity - Galileo - University of Virginia
... From the earliest times, gravity meant the tendency of most bodies to fall to earth. In contrast, things that leaped upwards, like flames of fire, were said to have “levity”. Aristotle was the first writer to attempt a quantitative description of falling motion: he wrote that an object fell at a con ...

Canonical Quantum Gravity as a Gauge Theory with Constraints
... One of the consequences of canonical quantum gravity, which we will not have time to cover, is the extraordinary result that spacetime has a granular, or discrete, structure at very short length scales (≈ 10−35 metres). In this way, we resolve the problem of ultraviolet divergences by depriving them ...

This force occurs whenever masses are present and the two bodies need not to be in contact with each other. It is however the weakest of the fundamental forces of nature.
