|    The "Force" of Gravity    |
|    18 Apr 19 00:28:33    |
      From: arl_123234@hotmail.com              Hello, all. One concept that I can seem to get my thoughts around is       that arguably gravitational force fits in to the Newtonian concept of a       force that can act on a mass. But general relativity informs us that       gravity isn't a force at all but a phenomenon due to the curvature of       space-time. How can merely the curvature of space give rise to the fact       that two untethered masses will tend to be attracted to and move toward       one another? We've seen those rubber-sheet demos but they rely on       earth's gravity and we end up with a cause-effect-cause situation?       Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely       --       J. B.
