What Causes Gravity According to General Relativity?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Gravity is not a force but a curvature of spacetime caused by mass.
  • Objects move along curved paths (geodesics) in this warped geometry.
  • More massive objects create deeper wells of spacetime curvature.
  • This replaces Newton's concept of instantaneous action at a distance.
