- TL;DR Summary
- Would a body in free fall 'feel' a force acting upon it if the curvature of spacetime was suddenly increased?
My current understanding is that a person falling toward the surface of a planet with no atmosphere, would feel no force acting upon themselves even though they are accelerating relative to the planet. If the mass of the planet suddenly tripled while the person is in free fall, would the person 'feel' anything as a result or would they still feel no apparent force even though their rate of acceleration increases?
