Is gravity a force?

Heard on the radio there is an imminent announcement due confirming the detection of "gravity waves"

Is gravity a force?

Gravity is a force which acts between two objects.

Magnetism is a bit more interesting.

...
But how all these different theories reconcile IS where you need to be a proper physicist who understands the maths, I reckon.

I asked one. He said gravity is a force that can be modelled by treating it as a curvature of spacetime.

Magnetism is a bit more interesting.

I'll take your word for that :

Is gravity force for good or not?

That's the real question ...

Its a force of nature. If it wasn't for gravity you'd have brown and yellow ceilings...

Imagine that you are in a balcony and you jump

Force = G (gravity) [m1(floor) m2(you)] / r2(distance between you and the floor)

its an ok movie

Interesting comments. I'm of the opinion that gravity is the sum of other things, which we call a force.

I push a ball from a standstill. The ball moves. We don't call this a force however, rather acceleration.

The same thing is happening with a mass following the curvature of spacetime, it's accelerating.

It makes you wonder about the other fundamental forces.
