Gravity is not a pull but a warp in the fabric of reality
In short: Most people think of gravity as an invisible tug, but it is actually a structural distortion. This video explores how mass curves the very geometry of our universe to create the motion we see every day.
While Isaac Newton first described gravity as a force of attraction between objects with mass, Albert Einstein provided a deeper understanding by revealing that mass warps spacetime. The strength of this interaction is governed by two primary factors: it increases with more mass and decreases according to the square of the distance.
By viewing gravity through the lens of warped spacetime rather than just a simple pull, we can better understand how everything from falling apples to orbiting planets behaves within our solar system.
