Is Gravity Not a Force in General Relativity?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the interpretation of gravity in the context of Newton's and Einstein's theories. It questions whether gravity is a force or a result of the curvature of spacetime, as proposed by General Relativity. Participants express confusion about the implications of Einstein's theories on the traditional understanding of gravity. The conversation highlights the distinction between Newton's gravitational pull and Einstein's description of gravity as a geometric property of space. Overall, the thread emphasizes the ongoing debate about the nature of gravity and its fundamental role in physics.

if newten was wrong about gravity, and einstein is right (general Relativity) does it mean that gravity is not a force.
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Then what is keeping us down?
 


well if the eath follows a curved path arount the sun i would no call it a force of "pull"
 


Then if we are being pull all the time, why are we still so far away from the sun?

ok if Newton was right what did einstein disprove
 


You said it in your title of your question right? I am just trying to lead you to believe that gravity is real lol
 


he disproved Relativity?
 


Who disproved Relativity? Your answer could probably be answered by one of those Discovery Channel's documentary.
 


i have to writ a paper and i m confused
here z wat i go so far neton said there is gravity and einstine came up with his space-time fabric
