Topic: say, question for the physicists of minichan

So it is said that gravity is a fictitious force, an illusion consequential to how matter follows the curvature of space. So why are physicists seeking to unify gravity as a force with the other fundamental forces, and considering the existence of force-carrying particles called gravitons?

Because they're dumb as shit.

This is a case of trying something that may not be possible. As with parallel lines never meeting.

also, why must space take up so much room and still not be satisfied

Gravity is the curvature of space caused by matter
