Gravity is not a force but rather the shape of spacetime; mass curves the four-dimensional fabric of space and time, and objects follow the straightest possible paths through this curved spacetime, which we perceive as gravitational attraction.

Newton vs Einstein Why the Earth is NOT Being #shortsAdded:
is not a force at all.
It is the shape of space time. Is breathtaking in its simplicity. Mass a four-dimensional fabric the unified structure of space and time together is curved by the presence of mass.
The more massive the object, the more the surrounding space time is curved.
And objects, all objects follow the straightest possible path through curved space time, what we call gravity.
The force that Newton described as the pull that keeps planets in orbit and apples on their trees is not a force at all.
It is the shape of space time. Think about the Earth orbiting the Sunday.
>> [music] >> In Newton's picture the Sunday pulls the Earth across the void of space.
The gravitational force acting at a distance through empty space. The Sunday curves the space time around it. The Earth moving through that curved space time follows the straightest possible path. A path that curves because the space time it moves through is curved.
The Earth is not being pulled.
It follows the geometry
