True, but would I not be right in thinking that the energy exchanges involved in the operation of the electromagnetic force can all be accounted for? Such is not the case with gravity.

You say:"... there is no force causing the warp. The warp just is."

The warp is not there when matter is absent; it is there when matter is present. This is not a "why" question, it is a "how" question. Your own definition of the scope of science makes this a legitimate question to ask. How does matter have this phenomenal effect on spacetime without involving energy?

There never was nothing.
