The Assertion That Gravity is Not a Force: The Grand Illusion of Spacetime

Introduction: The Boldest Lie in Physics

One of the most misleading claims of modern physics is that gravity is not a force. This assertion, central to General Relativity (GR), is one of the most deceptive misinterpretations in scientific history.

Rather than treating gravity as a fundamental force, GR insists that objects merely follow the curvature of spacetime—as if gravity is nothing more than a consequence of geometry, with no physical mechanism driving it.

This claim is not only wrong—it is self-contradictory, logically incoherent, and ultimately refuted by experimental reality.

Let’s dismantle this fallacy step by step, expose the deep flaws in GR’s spacetime concept, and show why gravity must be an actual force, not just a geometric illusion.

1. The Contradiction: A Force That "Doesn’t Exist" but Still Moves Everything

Physics defines a force as something that causes an object to accelerate. By this definition alone, gravity is a force because objects clearly accelerate toward massive bodies.

Yet, GR defenders insist:

❝ Gravity is not a force—objects simply move along curved spacetime. ❞

This claim creates an absurd contradiction:

If gravity is not a force, why does it cause acceleration?
If objects are just "moving along spacetime," what is driving the motion?
If mass curves spacetime, how does spacetime "push" objects into motion?

You cannot have acceleration without force.
You cannot have motion without a physical cause.

Yet GR demands that we ignore these basic principles and accept an explanation that provides no causal mechanism whatsoever.

This is the biggest red flag in physics.

2. The Illogical Leap: From "Curvature" to "Motion" Without a Cause

GR defenders argue that objects move because spacetime is curved—but they never explain how curvature causes movement.

If GR were logically consistent, it would provide a physical mechanism that explains:

Why a mass sitting in curved spacetime starts to move.
How spacetime curvature exerts an influence on matter.
What physical process translates curvature into motion.

Yet, GR provides none of these answers.

Instead, it forces us to accept that curvature alone "guides" objects—which is equivalent to saying,

❝ Things move because they move. ❞

This is circular reasoning.

3. The Bait-and-Switch: Newtonian Mechanics in Local Cases, but Not Universal

GR defenders secretly rely on Newtonian force-based gravity in local scenarios—while rejecting force-based gravity on cosmic scales.

This creates a paradoxical contradiction:

When calculating the motion of falling objects, physicists use force equations (F = ma).
When calculating planetary motion, physicists use force equations (gravitational attraction).
Yet, when explaining why things fall or orbit in the first place, they claim gravity is not a force.

If gravity is not a force, why does every practical calculation treat it as one?

4. The "Spacetime Fabric" Delusion: A Physically Impossible Concept

One of GR’s greatest deceptions is the false analogy of "spacetime as a fabric".

Physics textbooks show a 2D rubber sheet being curved by a mass, with smaller objects rolling into the dip. This is meant to illustrate how mass curves spacetime and "guides" objects into motion.

🚨 This is a complete fraud. 🚨

🔹 The rubber sheet example uses actual gravity to pull the smaller object down!
🔹 There is no force in spacetime to "pull" objects in any direction!
🔹 Curvature alone cannot generate acceleration—something must exert force!

This misleading analogy tricks people into thinking they understand GR, when in reality, it explains nothing.

👉 If gravity is not a force, then what is causing the object to move down the curve?

GR has no answer, because it relies on the illusion of force without an actual force.

5. The Ultimate Exposure: The Logical End of GR’s Absurdity

If GR's "no force" model were true, then:

🔹 A stationary object inside a gravitational field would never start moving.
🔹 Gravitational time dilation (slower clocks in stronger fields) would have no explanation.
🔹 Black holes would not pull things in—they would simply exist as curved regions of spacetime with no ability to influence matter.

Yet all of these effects are observed.

This means gravity must be an active force, not just a passive curvature.

6. Graviton Pressure Theory (GPT): The Real Explanation

GR falsely treats gravity as a passive consequence of geometry, when in reality, gravity is an active force applied by external pressure.

GPT explains gravity correctly:
✅ Gravity is caused by an external field of gravitons that exert pressure on objects.
✅ Objects accelerate because they are being pushed by this pressure.
✅ Spacetime is not "curving"—graviton pressure is creating the illusion of curved motion.

This explains everything GR cannot:
✔ Why objects accelerate in a vacuum (due to graviton pressure differentials).
✔ Why gravity scales with mass (because mass resists graviton flow, creating stronger pressure zones).
✔ Why light bends around massive objects (graviton pressure creates an optical distortion).

7. Conclusion: The Emperor Has No Clothes

GR’s claim that "gravity is not a force" is one of the biggest intellectual frauds in modern physics.

🔹 It defies basic physics (no acceleration without force).
🔹 It relies on misleading visual analogies (rubber sheet illusion).
🔹 It uses Newtonian force-based equations for practical calculations while denying force exists.
🔹 It fails to provide a causal mechanism for motion (it just asserts that objects "follow curvature").
🔹 It requires unverifiable assumptions (dark matter, dark energy) to patch its failures.

If a theory can only exist by denying the fundamental reality of forces, it is not a valid theory—it is an illusion.

Gravity is a force. It has always been a force. It always will be a force.

The fact that GR had to deny force itself just to sustain its equations proves that it is wrong.

💡 Graviton Pressure Theory restores gravity as a real force—eliminating GR’s illusions and replacing them with a testable, falsifiable, and logically sound model.

🔹 Gravity is not curved spacetime—it is the active push of a force field.
🔹 Objects do not "follow geodesics"—they are moved by pressure gradients.
🔹 Spacetime does not "cause" motion—graviton pressure applies force directly.

The deception is over. The truth is clear.

💡 Gravity is a force. And now, we finally know why.
