I could buy an apartment with that much ~

Everything we know about all space and time is technically just entirely made up by us.

No, it's pain receptors

Wouldn't the electromagnetic force be what makes jumping from the Burj Khalifa risky? It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop.

And yet, jumping from the Burj Khalifa at 1m off the ground is not very dangerous, so it's not the Burj Khalifa that's doing it

Entropic gravity

And here I thought it was just your mom

So what you are saying is micro black holes everywhere, thats genius!

55k dollars in the US gets you a crappy apartment and a 7 year car loan.

57k€/year is a professional's salary in Italy.

Average is 32k€

With 57k€ you can afford to live comfortably, even get yourself a roomy flat, which is unusual for single individuals.

*Exceptions may apply, see Milan or other big cities

Postdocs are definitely not getting 55k in the UK except maybe if something like medicine is special? The range is like 36-45ish.

57k usd is a little less than 42k gbp

Well then I guess they don't mean UK do they?

Congratulations, here's your PhD

But then they say gravity is an effect caused by spacetime curvature and electromagnetism is caused by quantum phenomena. What is the cause for spacetime or quantummechanics? Idk but somehow they don't make it on the list of fundamental forces.

I don't think we know enough about quantum mechanics to even make a guess, yet. I do know that the reason we wanted to find the Higgs Boson so much was because we thought it could help explain how things acquire mass, which could lead to figuring out antigravity. But then we found it and it wasn't doing what was originally thought. Or something.

Fundamental means it cannot be explained by being caused by something else.

Fundamental force means we expect a carrier particle to explain it (for gravity that’s the Graviton, although it hasn’t been detected yet).

electromagnetism is caused by quantum phenomena.

Not even remotely true.

Quantum mechanics is mostly that statistics is more complicated than we all thought . Seeking a cause for spacetime is interesting. It might be relevant to mention that there is a fundamental particle that imparts mass, which we call the Higgs Boson. I guess that could make mass and inertia something of a “fundamental force”.

Well, they are not forces.
