Re: The Elevator in Free Fall

A contestation that I expected and that no one has made is this: if
General Relativity is wrong, why are its results more consistent with
observed phenomena than those of Newton's gravitation?

The answer is that the errors of RG are only conceptual, that is, they
only concern the presumed causes of gravity (space-time curvature
instead of forces) and not the excellent innovation that exposes
Newton's error.

For Newton, the mass M acts directly on the mass m (and this is wrong
but I will talk about it in the next specific discussion), while for
Einstein the mass M acts on the space around itself and the space
transmits this action (force) on the mass m (and this is correct).

I deliberately wrote space and not space-time.
