Your explanation of how F g=mg=ma (g=a) "is backwards" seems a bit non sequitur and does not flip these relationships. Not even in Newtonian physics.
And I'm fairly certain that the Higgs particle got squished down the drain buy Higgins. 
So, the unified theory will have to wait. |
excuse me,
Perhaps you need to go back to school for a refresher
basic Physics 101 a force is what causes a change in motion(aka acceleration)
both Newton and Einstein are right w/i certain restrictive domains
Newton was right for large objects moving relatively slowly in relatively weak gravitational fields
Einstein merely refined Newton to explain and describe mathematically w/ fewer restrictions
neither was totally right for all possible scenarios
a major failing of Newton was his ability to describe the orbit of mercury accurately enough, mercury is in a gravitational field just strong enough and is moving just fast enough that Newtons math failed, Einstein corrected that to an exquisite degree that has not been seen to err
Einstein's math fails at very small scales, approaching the Plank distance, here Quantum Theory is necessary to describe what is going on, which it also does exquisitely.
The conundrum of modern Physics lies in reconciling Einstein and Quantum Theory
String Theory and Quantum Gravity being the most promising paths
That is totally incidental and not really relevant to basic forces and accelerations in the usual realms of earth, moon planetary or even large scale Galactic motion
