Wrong. GR says that gravitation can be modeled as acceleration.
- mog_dev 2y agoGeneral Relativity states that mass-energy curves spacetime, and objects follow the straightest possible paths (geodesics) through this curved geometry. The equivalence principle relates gravity and acceleration, but it's not the main description of gravity in GR.
