(I realized I have a confusing post title but can't figure how to edit it..It should read "Gravitational curvature vs gravitational force"
Under 'mass' Wikipedia makes a statement:
Under 'mass' Wikipedia makes a statement:
Albert Einstein developed his general theory of relativity starting from the assumption that this correspondence between inertial and (passive) gravitational mass is not accidental: that no experiment will ever detect a difference between them (the weak version of the equivalence principle). However, in the resulting theory gravitation is not a force and thus not subject to Newton's third law, so "the equality of inertial and active gravitational mass [...] remains as puzzling as everhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_mass#Gravitational_mass
Inertial and Gravitational Mass
What do you all think about this? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration??
