Gravity waves come straight out of GR. (Actually, weak gravity waves show up in the linearized theory (the linearized theory of GR being a certain approximation of it that’s easier to deal with, good for low energies and such))
And that was part of what I was asking about. Well, others have tried to find that sort of thing, but I was asking something like “in the standard model and such, are the forces really aspects of what would amount to the geometry (specifically the symmetries) of configuration space rather than additional dimensions in the config space?”
And, of course, one of the BIG questions for modern physics is how to get a quantum description of gravity or to otherwise find a model of reality which contains both QM and GR in a “natural” way.
So, basically, at this point, all I can say is “I don’t really know.” :)
(well, also, I guess depending on how you look at it, curvature either explains or explains away tidal force. It explains the effects/behaviors, but explains away any apparent “forces” being involved.)
