[QUOTE="stevil, post: 74281441, member: 277368"] I see it as the opposite of this. Given the curvature of SpaceTime in the presence of the Earth. A straight line would be from my current position eventually to the centre of the Earth (even if I am standing still). Assuming of course I am moving slower than terminal velocity with respect to the Earth. I am however, not moving towards the centre of the Earth, and that is not because of Gravity, but instead because of the ground under my feet. The surface of the Earth is exerting a force on my feet and pushing me away from the centre of the Earth. F=ma so I am accelerating at about 9.8 m/s^2 with respect to SpaceTime, which means I maintain my position on the surface of the Earth, neither moving towards the center of the Earth, nor moving towards outer space, even though I have a constant force on my feet, forever accelerating me in the opposite direction of the Earth.
