gravitational field theory

Gravitational field theory describes how massive objects, like planets and stars, create a "field" around them that exerts a force on other objects. Imagine space as a flexible fabric; when a heavy object sits on it, it creates a dip that causes nearby objects to roll toward it. This "curvature" of space-time guides the motion of objects, making them accelerate toward each other. In essence, gravity isn't just a force but a warping of space-time caused by mass and energy, influencing how objects move within that field.
