Is that page a bunch of nonsense?
Frank Wilczek put it this way:
“We can describe general relativity using either of two
mathematically equivalent ideas: curved space-time or metric field.
Mathematicians, mystics, and specialists in general relativity tend
to like the geometric view because of its elegance. Physicists
trained in the more empirical tradition of high-energy physics and
quantum field theory tend to prefer the field view… As you can
probably tell, I’m a field man.”
