Is Curved Space An Improvement Over The Use of the Concept of Forces?


No, because it begs the question of causation and involves the
reification fallacy.
Curved space is not a causative mechanism.

"To say it again, the problem is that you cannot let your math carry
your forces. The math should represent motions, not cause them. In
Einstein’s field equations, the motions are caused by the field
curvature, and the field curvature is caused by the math. So it is the
math that causes the motions. In curved math, the math becomes a force.
The math becomes the first cause, the impetus to motion. The math
replaces the inertial system. That is not a theoretical advance, that is
a theoretical and mathematical cheat."
