Philosophy of General Relativity

The philosophy of General Relativity explores the nature of gravity, space, and time, as proposed by Albert Einstein. It presents gravity not as a force, but as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass. This means that massive objects like planets and stars bend the fabric of space and time around them, influencing the motion of other objects. The theory challenges traditional notions of absolute space and time, suggesting they are interlinked and dynamic. Its implications extend beyond physics, influencing our understanding of reality, causation, and the structure of the universe.
