  • So does gravity even really exist?

    Isn't it just a by-product of mass?

    Gravity is the name we give to the property of matter which causes curvature of space-time

    Bodies with mass will appear to attract each other because they're curving space time?

    is probably a better way to say it.

  • MASS (or energy density) is the name we give to the property of matter which causes curvature of space-time,

    Gravity is the name we give to accelerations dependent on a bodies mass (or energy density).
    Which is somewhat semantics but ultimately mass/energy tells space how to warp and space tells mass/energy how to move.

    Technical addon:

    [G=(8*pi*g)*T], where G is space time curvature and T is energy density, the rest just constants.

  • Gravitational MASS (or energy density) is the name we give to the property of matter which causes curvature of space-time

    Nobody knows why gravitational mass correlates with inertial mass

  • MASS (or energy density) is the name we give to the property of matter which causes curvature of space-time

    You mean Gravitational mass.

    EDIT: got testered
