On balance, which of these two options do you believe is most likely to be correct.
niether ( just kidding !! )

look , while Einstien used the mathematics of geometry to predict this or that behaviour by planets , this tells us nothing , of the physical dynamics which caused this behaviour in the first place which is my point

look space-time was invented in the context of geometric mathematics and was not meant to explain any of the physical dynamics between objects

this is understandable since in geometric mathematics both space and time can be expressed mathematically. what else did they have to go on really ?
