She is right, of course. Gravity is just a mechanism, and one we can learn to understand and control. Once we begin to see it as a mechanism, rather than as a mysterious force with which matter is imbued, we will be well on the way to understanding how space is affected by matter and why it results in the actions observed. Einstein’s observation that space is changed by the presence of matter, rather than having matter exert a force at a distance through no mechanism at all, will eventually be the key that opens the door.
