Gravity isn’t a force?

1.11K views

My coworker told me gravity isn’t a force it’s an effect mass has on space time, like falling into a hole or something. We’re not physicists, I don’t understand.

Gravity is like an invisible force that holds us down to earth. It is as if the earth is pulling us towards it. But it is also true that some physicists say that gravity is more like an effect. They say that things with mass bend and stretch the spacetime around them, and that causes things to move towards each other. It may seem a little confusing, but it’s just one way of explaining how gravity works. So, in short, gravity is like a force that keeps us on the ground, but some say it’s more like an effect on spacetime
