| The 'curvature of space-time' is the physical expansion of matter. Matter is an omnidirectionally expanding, accelerating field. This generates the illusion that 'descending' test objects 'fall', when in fact, the entire frame of reference (coordinate system) is rising up to overtake and strike the apparently precipitating test objects. This is what inspired Einstein's famous quote about the 'curvature of space-time', regarding falling objects.
