In physics, curved spacetime is the mathematical model in which, with Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity naturally arises, as opposed to being described as a fundamental force in Newton's static Euclidean reference frame. Objects move along geodesics—curved paths determined by the local geometry of spacetime—rather than being influenced directly by distant bodies.

@catsalad If it fits, it sits.
@catsalad Awesome photo and description, brought a smile. Thank you.
@catsalad Does light bend around that fat cat? Can you see things behind him?
@catsalad even Speedy Gonzalez isn't fast enough to escape kitty's gravitational pull 🐁
@catsalad If bodies are non-distant and look/smell like a treat, objects move as well. I know the science
@catsalad That orange cat is so large, it has other, smaller orange cats in close orbit around it.
Cat or gas giant?
@catsalad I believe the geometrical name for that is a “catenary”, or if not it should be.
@catsalad Hope this isn't AI
@catsalad yeah you can say that all you want, but that is a polymorphed dragon
@catsalad If it fits, I sits.
@catsalad Garfield, stop bending spacetime.
@catsalad
I always purr-fur-ed this one.
