einstein's general relativity, he essentially equated the the "eventuality" of objects "falling" to some point in space is the same "kind" (orthogonal? in 4d) of eventuality that we experience with time

the key insight is that gravity isn't a force pulling you down, but rather the curvature of spacetime itself. when you're in freefall (like orbiting or just dropping), you're actually following the straightest possible path through curved spacetime—what's called a geodesic. you're not being "pulled" anywhere; you're just moving forward through time in a curved geometry. so in a sense, yes—the inevitability of falling toward a massive object is baked into the geometry the same way that moving forward through time is inevitable. both are part of how you naturally move through 4d spacetime.
