Space(time) tells matter how to move; matter tells space(time) how to curve
This is John Wheeler’s succinct summary of general relativity – which was Einstein’s idea.

The next Einstein, and Wheeler, need to think SMALL…
Was a great idea… til quantum mechanics.
Gravity isn’t a force, and Einstein was wrong – just still the best explanation we have at the moment.
Can it uncurve though? I guess you would need something with negative mass in order to flatten it back out again, no?
