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.

They’re both equivalent descriptions and one is not more right than the other. Even Einstein never claimed that as far as I know. Curved space time will manifest itself as a force in a flat space time. The curve taken by light passing a heavy object can be described by using force alone. The description stems from (Einstein) that the gravitational force happens to be proportional to the inertial mass in Newton’s second law. Which is amazing if you think about it.
