The video explores the differences between Newton's and Einstein's views on gravity, focusing on the concept of inertial frames and curved spacetime. It explains how Einstein's model is self-consistent and supported by experimental evidence, such as gravitational time dilation. The video also discusses why spacetime is curved, using the Einstein equations, and concludes with a viewer question about the use of the term 'gravity'.
