Why Gravity is not a force

Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915), which describes gravity not as a force, but as a consequence of masses moving "straight ahead" in a curved spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass.
