Hello,
first of. I have heard this explanation countless times. I also heard that Gravity “is not a force between masses, but a bending of Spacetime”. I dont know who said that to me or where i have heard it from but what i know is that at least einstein said that Gravity is the effect of mass that bends spacetime. So how would you try to explain how exactly it comes that we dont fall of the earth, when (at least to my understanding) masses dont actually pull at each other like u explained in your answer. Maybe its just one big misunderstanding on my part. It would be nice if you could explain this to me.
Thank you for reading!
