Reply to comment by A_Cool_Lad in ELI5: Why do objects fall faster towards more massive objects if gravity is not a force? Example : the speed we fall on earth is 9.81 fps while its much higher on Jupiter by Effurlife13

In Newtonian physics, gravity is a force, described as F = Gmm/d²

In general relativity, gravity is not a force but an effect we observed caused by the curvature of Spacetime. In the same sense that inertia is not a force.
