Gravitation: What's the Big Attraction?

Clue: It's NOT Relativity.Have you ever wondered how bodies like planets, stars, galaxies 'curve spacetime'? What it means, exactly, to say that spacetime is 'curved'? Or why objects follow those curved contours under the effect referred to as gravity ??None of these proposed cause-and-effect consequences are explained by General Relativity. We're simply told that they happen.Strap yourself in for a journey through space and time to pin down the very first clear and coherent explanation of the causal mechanisms that give rise to the effect known as gravitation. Get a handle on the basics of how "Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve" (which you can follow up in detail in a later Substack post: Gravity II: the Sequel - also includes audio).A transcript of this podcast is available here.
