>>13174208>hurrr sOrRy cHuD BuT GrAvItY StIlL IsN'T A FoRcEThat's right, birdbrain, in the LOCAL point of view, you look in a neighborhood of a point, you make a free-falling frame, and then motion is entirely in straight lines at constant so that you don't see gravity. Looking at it this way, gravity is not a "force", meaning it doesn't make a generally covariant contribution to the local curvature of the particle space-time paths.
But in the GLOBAL pov, you dumb motherfucker, you see an incoming particle from infinity deflected by a field, and you say a FORCE has been acting if the particle is deflected. In this pov, EVERY DEFLECTION IS A FORCE BY DEFINITION.
The GLOBAL pov is the way in which gravity is treated in quantum field theory or string theory. GET IT? STOP REPEATING THIS SHIT.
