A key article challenges viewing gravity as geometry alone. Its theme ”Fields tell matter how to move“ is that gravitational waves establish the material status of the gravitational field, and thereby expose the inadequacy of the mantra “Gravity is geometry”. The equivalent catch-phrase ”Space tells matter how … Continue reading
