this is heading into semantics but gravity is a force
I thought that's where we came in - the question of whether gravity is a force. Mass/energy interacts with space-time in two ways, firstly by curving it and secondly by following the geodesic unless some other interaction makes it do something else. The alternative model in which gravity is a force mediated by the graviton seems to have even more problems than the curved space-time model.

well this is heading into semantics but gravity is a force and mass is a property of matter. We don't refer to the Coulomb force as a property of charge...
