We all know that gravity is best explained by general relativity which says mass curves space-time. This means that gravity is not a force but an acceleration and we are “falling” towards massive things. (Not sure if I worded that correctly. Correct me if not)
I’ve read that gravity isn’t a force but acts like one. Like the centrifugal force. A fictitious force.
My question is:
When can we say that gravity acts like a force and when can’t we?
Is there a time we can’t say it’s a force at all and say it’s an acceleration?
Does general relativity actually say it is a force and I’m just misunderstanding something?
