Abstract
It is well known that one could determine the kinematics of gravity by
using the Principle of Equivalence and local inertial frames. I describe how the dynamics
of gravity can be similarly understood by suitable thought experiments in a local
Rindler frame. This approach puts in proper context several unexplained features of
gravity and describes the dynamics of spacetime in a broader setting than in Einstein’s
theory.
