If gravity rises from the fact that mass bends space-time and stuff falls in because it actually follows a straight line in a curved space as it moves by a gravitating object - doesn't that mean that a relatively stationary particle would not fall in the the claws of gravity as it would NOT be following a line at all?
At least stationary in the plane parallel to the surface because, as I think, moving UP perfectly perpendicular would not encounter curvature in such way to follow it down..
And I mean a stationary fundamental particle, because I know that "stuff" is made of atoms, that move around vibrating and atoms consist of nuclei and they of quarks and gluons and what not speeding inside like crazy (and the speeding quarks and gluons is what makes up most of the mass-energy of matter?).
Faster a particle moves the quicker it follows the line into the claws of gravity [falls] ?
