 The main idea of general relativity is that there is not really a gravitational force, but instead what we perceive as gravity is just a result because spacetime is curved through the presence of energy. ​ The main idea of general relativity is that there is not really a gravitational force, but instead what we perceive as gravity is just a result because spacetime is curved through the presence of energy. ​
  
-This means that every object transforms spacetime and all other particles which move through space roll down the slows or up the hills that are created by all other objects.+This means that every object transforms spacetime and all other particles which move through space roll down the slopes ​or up the hills that are created by all other objects.
  
 For example, imagine a planet like our earth and a smaller object like a satellite. The heavy earth creates a depression in spacetime. As a result, the smaller satellite runs down this slope created by the earth and thus flies towards the earth'​s surface. (Take note that satellites can orbit around earth because the movement in a circle prevents that they fall directly onto the earth.) For example, imagine a planet like our earth and a smaller object like a satellite.
