First of all, this is my first post, sorry if I did something wrong.
So according to the Einstein`s theory of gravity, gravity is caused by a distortion or curve in space-time, and the curve becomes the new route for the object, because its the straightest route.
Does the velocity of the object change?
And if it does, what makes it accelerate?
Lets say that the things that have mass would be bigger in space-time. More mass, more space-time covered. In our measurements, the speed of the object would increase, because it covered more distance in the same time. In space-time however it would be the distance that increased.
And what if light moved at the same speed regardless of the medium? Only that the more mass the medium had, the bigger distance the light had to travel in space-time? So it appears to be slower.
I am not that educated so please go ahead and tell me if I'm wrong. I have a hunch that this may be wrong. Maybe it's the other way around, you tell me!
