Gravity as an effect of quantum entanglement?

[axenome]

ok this is my last post before I go to bed and sleep it off, I swear. Gravity seems to be the big problem in all of quantum physics, and throws a big wrench into all the models they've proposed to explain it in terms of EM forces like light, magnetism, strong/weak forces. But gravity propagates itself on an inverse square law rather than an inverse cubed law like the EM forces, right? Doesn't this suggest that gravity is a symptom of something else?

 

Quantum entanglement has been proven to bypass speed of light laws already, if I remember correctly. We could probably find support for quantum entanglement as a cause or factor in gravity by causing a massive particle to tunnel to a distant location, then determine through instrumentation exacting enough to measure it whether the local gravity of the region where the particle appeared is measurable at the moment of transport, or only when the "gravitons" arrive. The original quantum entanglement could be sourced at the big bang? Where all matter and energy was originally in the same location? Might be close enough to effect an entanglement, maybe...

 

Of course, the idea is something along the order of trying to check for a fly obscuring the light intensity of a raging forest fire some three hundred miles away with a pinhole through a cardboard box, but hell, they've already discovered planets around distant stars so this seems about as difficult.

 

Drunk, stupid, and ready to pass out, this is me, signing off.

Electrostatics is an inverse-square relationship.

No, it hasn't. You can't use the effect to communicate faster than c.
