Check out this awesome tool. I think you'll like it. https://timhutton.github.io/GravityIsNotAForce/index.html



It visualizes why objects fall - objects move in straight-line paths that are determined by the geometry of spacetime. All mass warps the curvature of spacetime around it, creating what we understand as gravity. But gravity is not a force!!

It is very intuitive when you use the sliding scale to view an object from outside of the inertial frame of reference (0 m/s) and you can see how all objects at rest (free-falling) take straight-line paths through spacetime.

This is a great tool. Really makes it easy to visualize. What's interesting is that most people tend to think that it is warping in space that causes "gravity", but really the warping in time is what causes objects to fall. Because of time dilation, different parts of an object move through the time dimension at different rates and change the trajectory.
