quantum field theory - Is gravity a tensor?


All other fundamental forces are mediated by vector bosons. The Higgs boson is a scalar boson & the interaction it mediates isn't called as a force. A force is a vector in the usual description. But the hypothesized graviton is a tensor boson. Would that mean gravity is not a usual force but may be a generalization of the concept of force into a tensor? (Einstein field equation relates Einstein tensor & stress-energy tensor & therefore sort of relates curvature & energy. And gravity is curvature).

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
