Geometric Gravity

Geometric gravity, primarily described by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, explains how gravity is not just a force between masses but a result of spacetime's shape. Massive objects like stars and planets cause spacetime to curve around them. This curvature directs the motion of other objects, which we perceive as gravity. Instead of thinking of gravity as a pulling force, it’s more accurate to see objects moving along curved paths in a distorted spacetime. This perspective provides a more complete understanding of how gravity operates on large scales, especially near extremely dense objects like black holes.
