All objects follow the geodesics of curved space-time.

Matter tells space how to curve, and space tells matter how to move.

Quantum physics at its most basic.

Matter creates gravitational pull, which warps space-time.

As for the space telling matter how to move, could you please explain?

You should talk to Nick Fasciano. He's taking quantum physics right now.

Well, I would say that matter creates gravitational pull. There's the same amount of matter in the universe now as there always has been, so the gravitational pull between two objects has always existed. It may change based on the positioning of objects, but it was never really "created."

Well, matter moves in space, and so is "guided" by paths in space. That last line is actually a quote by somebody, but I don't care enough to give proper credit.

I gotcha. Damn semantics.

I see what you're saying. Good deal.

Semantics indeed.

Sorry, first sentence should read, "..I wouldn't.."
