Question about matter and space-time

[ALine]

could matter be the pushing against space-time?

How would that work? Space-time is geometry

And pushing has implications for e.g. momentum which we don’t observe.

I am not sure, what if the matter was space-time somehow curling into specific geometries?

if you don't mind me asking what are some of the implications?

You posted this in classical physics. If it were in speculations, I’d ask you for some evidence or a model. 

Absent that, it’s a WAG and we don’t j\have a WAG forum.

If one thing pushes on another, that other thing pushes back. Momentum changes. You’d have things slowing down because of spacetime pushing on it. That throws Newton’s first law out the window.

Apologies did not mean to post it here then.

Did not realize that, thank you.

Only had a year of college physics, but my understanding is that matter has mass which bends space time from two effects, the mass of the matter also called gravity, and the spin of the matter called frame dragging.
