If heavier objects would fall faster, then gravity couldn't
be as straightforwardly and easily modeled as a geometric
effect.

no problem, and tell me how geometry and space-time
explain the inverse of tha square law


you are infidel changing tha followups

No they won't. Why would you think that?

Oh shut the **** up you tiresome piece of ****

You interrupted him in mid-sentence,

So **** off - all your postings are better off well and truly snipped,
better still if they were never made.

Stop thinking you have anything to contribute to netiquette,
particularly when it comes to manners.

Where did you get the idea that

(1) gravity _is_ geometry (certainly Einstein never said that)

(2) then heavier objects would fall faster

Thanks

What do you mean by "a geometric effect"? Einstein didn't like that notion
but I'm very curious as to why most people who are fluent in GR do?

Thanks
