| Jun 28, 2023 at 2:02 | comment | added | Edouard | Re the above, I think the general idea is that space without gravity, or gravity without space, do not exist: I've never heard of any experimental or observational way to separate them. | |
| Jun 28, 2023 at 1:59 | comment | added | Edouard | On p.14 of his 2011 pop.-sci. book (praised by such well-known physicists as Smolin, Carroll, and Tyson) titled "The 4% Universe", Richard Panek explicitly states that, whereas Newtonian gravity can be seen as a "force" across space, gravity, as described by Einstein's 1915 GR, is a "property" of space. Confusions between GR and 1905's "Special Relativity" are described, in many papers whose titles all contain the phrase "expanding confusion" but were written at various levels of sophistication, by Davis & Lineweaver, and Davis has explicitly specified that gravity "is not a force or drag". | |

Improved wording.

| May 4, 2022 at 11:37 | comment | added | BioPhysicist | Does this answer your question? Is gravity a force or a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass/energy; and resulting in time dilation | |
