Hi everyone!
This is my first post here, and I hope I don't make a fool of myself.
I am in my 30's and very late to study physics and related fields with much passion.
With that said I have been trying to understand "curved space" and while I was learning about it I came to realize I had questions about gravity that I can't get passed.
In my mind I am imaging space as matter that has position in existence, and that when we find a planet sitting in space it has forced space to accommodate its (the planet's) presence. Dispersing space around it.
Depending on the size of the planet and how much it forces space to displace itself, is the push-back from space what we know as gravity?
Thanks...
