Gravity as Geometry is a star on the Constellate sky: placed by meaning, named, and connected to the stars around it. This is the short form of its post: the line it carries, the area we colour Physics, and what stands beside it today.
The line it carries on the sky: Nothing pulls a falling apple; it follows the shortest path through bent space.
What stands beside it
The stars nearest to it are Cosmic Expansion, Orbits and Escape Velocity, Relativity and Conservation of Energy. When Gravity as Geometry opens, the conversation will land it among them, with a line drawn to each idea it touches.
Ask for this star
Every star is lit by demand. Ask for Gravity as Geometry and it moves up the list; when it opens, this post becomes the full essay. The open stars beside it can be walked today, and the first concept of every course is free.
