Let me begin by saying that I am a special ed teacher (moderate to severe disabilities) and don’t have much in the way of a maths/physics background.
If mass curves spacetime and the other fundamental forces create similar fields is it the case that in the real world Euclid’s 5th postulate is actually correct? What I mean to say is that an orbit is actually straight line parallel motion but is perceived as circular because we cannot see the distortion caused by the field.
If all orbits are actually parallel linear translation across time then is it not the case that orbiting bodies do not experience any acceleration? Are orbits from electrons to those of planets just two bodies that experience time change at the same rate?
I hope this makes some sort of sense If not ignore me lol.
Cheers,
Tony
