Is gravity considered a force in modern physics? I am familiar with Einsteins model of gravity as curves in space-time, and i do realize its not a force in the classical sense, but is it still considered a force?
I want to clear up a debate I am having with a friend :)
My argument is that force is defined as being something that causes a body of mass to accelerate. He argues that the object is not actually accelerating, but appears to be accelerating in a curved space-time.
