If you have no explanation for the cause and source of gravitation and gravity; you cannot even begin to explain the other so-called forces. The difference between a genius and a want to be; is physical experimentation.
The reason is; because if you cannot explain the existence of the container; you have nothing to put a force in. When Newton realized he had no model; he looked for and found a use for numbers; or endless possibilities, was the only way he could continue to engage in the simulated pursuit of the idea of gravity. He no longer pursued the motion of gravitation and its cause; but he could still theorize about the end results; or matter after it was formed.
Humans have ever since; just accepted that matter exists and ignored the why and the how of its motion of origin, or gravitation. The hot air solution and the accepted idea is that atoms are created in the stars. That is true in a sense; the dark matter dust is made in the stars; but photons of light are the only things which can travel at the speed of light. So how can it be that atoms of matter can ever escape from the gravitational field of light in the stars? It seems more logical that only photons; and the pre-atomic dust pushed and pulled out of the stars; by the escaping photons; are the only things which exit from the stars. The photons having only one axis of spin can withstand the light speed travel. While the star-smoke, pre -atomic dust is pushed out with no atomic order of mass or spin orientation. They then, due to photonic instigated spin and friction; are electrified and then attracted into spherical collections of mass, which we call stardust; or chondrules (Dark dust in matter). Friction equals static charge which becomes electromagnetic charge; attraction results and sustains; attraction through gravitation; to become gravity in mass. Carbon is one of the basic building blocks.
