Isn't everything in a constant freefall, but space is curved by an objects mass, so the freefall is curved by the space? The line it follows it straight but the actual space is curved. That's how I have always understood it, but I'm second guessing myself after doing a bit of reading lol.

Yes, you're right.

...have you looked at any books introducing quantum mechanics and similar topics? I particularly recommend In Search of Schrodinger's Cat by John Gribbin.

 

 

No, but I do know of schrodingers cat and the basic idea I think. Is it where he said quantum mechanicals aren't as excluse as they seem and if you put as cat in a box with a device that releases poison when it detects quantum fluctuations, then quantum mechanics has a larger effect than people may think. Is that the right one?

I read Stephen Hawkins universe in a nutshell once, but I'm not sure if I completely understood half of it. More or less my complete understanding of quantum physics has come from (braces self) reading Focus magazine once a month and the occasional issue of new scientist if something interesting is on the cover lol.
