Stephen Hawking: God was not needed to create the universe

I prefer the theory (can't recall the source) that gravity is not a force at all, nor does it consist of 'particles' or 'waves'. Gravity is a fundamental aspect of space-time caused by the way mass (matter) bends space-time foam. We see the result and misperceive it as a force in action, but it is actually just the 'shape of the universe'.

Totally off topic, but your statement reminded me of it.
