General Relativity

General Relativity redefines gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.

🌌 My Interpretation

I see it as a rule of motion written into space itself. Instead of a force pulling objects, it's geometry guiding them. Everything tries to follow the straightest path possibleβ€”but those paths are curved when space is bent.

🌍 Key Concepts

  • Geodesics: The natural paths objects take in curved spacetime.
  • Time Dilation: Clocks tick slower near massive objects.
  • Black Holes: Not just dense matter, but places where spacetime itself caves in.
  • Equivalence Principle: Free-fall and no gravity are locally indistinguishable.

General Relativity replaces force with shape, and rewrites how we understand motion at every scale.
