All of the sentences in the paragraph are real sentences from physics but they're strong together like they were generated by GPT-3 or something. For instance what does "how lengths determine in spacetime" mean? Why is it saying that curvature is what we feel as force? Why is it suddenly talking about test particles without introducing the term? Why does it jump to talking about geodesics in the last sentence? etc. it just feels like it was strung together by an algorithm.
- codethief 5y ago> they're strong together like they were generated by GPT-3 or something I agree, the article is not very coherent. However, neither of the authors is an English native speaker, so maybe that is playing a role here? OTOH, the website where the article is being hosted does look somewhat sketchy, so maybe you're right and the article was not written by the paper's authors but indeed strung together by an algorithm.
- jasonwatkinspdx 5y agoIt should be "how lengths are determined in spacetime" which I assume is just a mundane english second language issue. In the view of GR, all objects follow straight lines absent acceleration, and the force of gravity is actually a result of curvature of spacetime. That and the rest of your points that follow are more an issue of not being familiar with GR. I agree the article could have done a better job of elaborating these to a wider audience, but if you've read about GR a bit these concepts will be quite familiar.
