Considering Physicists consider Gravity as the strongest most powerful force in the universe. I think Science is missing something here in regards to harnessing this source as a power? Shouldn't it then have the potential to provide more power than Nuclear, or would that punch a gravity hole in this planet bigger than a nuke crater?

So you would need an even greater force. Or a slope and wheels as an increment to gravity. Which still is a loss making proposition

Technically speaking, gravity is the weakest of the 4 forces, however, it has the longest range.

1) the strong nuclear force
2) the electromagnetic force
3) the weak nuclear force
4) gravity.

No it wouldn't.

And gravity power has been in use for centuries...
