General Relativity & Curved Spacetime Explained!

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'.

Discuss the implications of gravitational time dilation on our understanding of spacetime.
