What most people miss
Gravity feels like a force that yanks. In the deeper picture, mass and energy reshape the stage itself — spacetime — and what we call falling is following the straightest path available on a curved map.
Where the curve is steep, clocks run differently. Time and space are part of the same bent geometry.
Why it matters
GPS satellites, starlight grazing the Sun, and the path of planets all lean on this idea: geometry first, “pull” as a useful approximation.

A chalk grid warped by a heavy sphere — the stage bends; the story stays wonder, not warp-drive fantasy.
