Newton had the basic concept, as he understood that the force created by gravity between two objects was proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between said objects.
Einstein brings time into the equation, which creates some interesting relativistic points of view, particularly when dealing with extreme velocities.
Is this what is being discussed, or should I watch the video when time is available.

I suggest you watch it.

That's what the video does.

Not 100% sure what he is trying to say here. For virtually every motion that people experience, Newtonian physics explains things adequately. Calling the acceleration of gravity a curve in spacetime because it is the result of deviation from a geodesic path caused by an applied metric tensor does not change the fact that it is a result of the acceleration of gravity. We all agree that gravity is not a force, and I believe that the statement that there is no such things as gravitational fields must be re-visited as the recent observation of what may be gravity waves (as predicted to exist by AE) suggests the possibility that gravitational fields may in fact exist.
I guess the the simple question is: Does curved spacetime cause the acceleration we call gravity, is the acceleration we call gravity the curvature of space time, or does the acceleration we call gravity cause the curvature of spacetime?
But more importantly, how does it effect the masses?

And that is why I didn't major in a hard science. Lol. I start out following fairly well then I hit a rabbit hole.
A will cease to see b in approximately 10 years, and will cease to feel its pull at approximately the same time. C will do the same at approximately 33 years.

the esteemed scientific journal, Forbes, seems to agree with Mr. Einstein that a gravity field propagates at roughly the speed of light. This is corroborated by other sources as well. It is difficult to prove, of course, as we have yet to exploit the trans-light speeds available through sub-space, but from a practical viewpoint, it seems a reasonable place to start.

The fact that you do not think I know does not mean I do not know.
i think.
Brad Steele
This quote suggests you know it is not so.
But you do not know it is not so.
Perhaps time will tell.
Brad Steele
It says it is better not to know than to know that which is not.
Your interpretation of its meaning is not in alignment with the statement.
While it is my belief that the quote from Billings is correct and you are also correct in your statement, the two are quite different.
Or, if you prefer, relatively different.
