Why Nothing Is Actually Pulling You Down - Penrose Explains

Описание: We grow up thinking gravity is a force.
Something that pulls objects downward. Something Earth “does” to you.

Roger Penrose argues that this picture is wrong.

In modern physics, gravity is not a force at all. Nothing is pulling. Nothing is reaching out across space. Instead, spacetime itself is curved, and objects move along the paths that curvature allows.

In this video, we explore Penrose’s view of gravity as constraint rather than mechanism. Why falling objects are actually moving freely. Why orbiting planets are not being held in place by a pull. And why gravity reveals spacetime as a physical structure, not a passive backdrop.

If this view is right, then gravity is not something the universe does.
It is something the universe is.

And once you see that, the idea of force — and motion itself — is never quite the same again.
