Why is gravity still described as a “force” when Einstein described it as the curvature of spacetime?

Question

Gravity- it’s known as the “weakest fundamental force”, but we know the “attraction” is really just objects falling along the curvature of space toward a more massive object. I don’t understand how this explanation of gravity relates to the other fundamental forces.

Answer 1

My understanding is that matter warps spacetime. This curvature is what we feel as gravity. However, many believe that there must be a force that bends spacetime. How exactly does matter warp space. Many believe it’s a force and the force carrier is the graviton.
