Gravity and inertia are the same thing. Mass competes for space-time. Because of this there is a larger amount space-time trapped around and in the earth. When a mass comes near the earth it is attracted to the larger amount of space within the earth and around it. This is what cases it to fall, as it falls the amount of space-time within it will increase proportional to it's distance from the earth. This is called a free fall inertial flow. Each quantum partial has a coupling constant this is why all mass falls at the same rate. The reason a mass resist movement is because as a mass accelerates it is pulling away from space-time and pushing against it. As it moves forward the amount of space-time within the mass will increase. This is why when a person that rides one of the new roller coasters that go strait and then curves upwards experiences weightlessness at the top when it stops is because it cannot fall until the excess space-time accumulated during acceleration exits the mass, then it can couple to the mass below it.
