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

Last I checked getting gravity to relate to the other forces was the only holdup for GUT. It’s a force, because well that’s what it is, the curvature stuff doesn’t contradict that any.
