Abstract

This paper critiques the notion that gravity is caused by space deformation. It explores logical inconsistencies in theories suggesting that space itself bends to generate gravitational force. Through mental experiments, the author argues that gravitational attraction exists independently of space deformation, citing inconsistencies in scenarios involving different masses at equal distances. The discussion emphasizes the distinction between the medium (space) and the actors (masses), suggesting the need for a more grounded physical explanation of gravitational phenomena.
