Gravity is Contracted -Not Bent -Space Around a Mass

<div xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0"> Demonstrating that gravity results from contracted space around a mass requires replacing Riemannian Geometry-the historical foundation of General Relativity (GR)-with the new geometry of Deformed Spaces. This approach retains the GR equations, their solutions, and the concept of curvature -preserving its definition and meaning -while providing a more tangible and intuitive framework. In Quantum Field Theory (QFT), the electromagnetic (EM) field is embedded in space and follows its topology. A contracted space implies a contracted EM field, leading to a virtual electrical charge at the center of the mass. Our EM theory, 'On the Essence of Electric Charge and Its Field' [1], independently demonstrates that this virtual charge is positive. Recent experiments conducted at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI) confirm these assertions [2]. Earth's deformed space induces free fall in masses, exerts an upward force on positive charges and a downward force on negative charges, and globally orients water's polarized molecules, generating an electric potential of approximately 0.5 volts. We interpret these theoretical and experimental results as the essence of Unification. </div>
