Using my drawing below, please explain why there will be force indicated on the two meters (1&2) - if there is no "pulling of gravity."
I already have, several times. Can't make it any simpler. I'll say it again, the force is there so your meters will measure it, just that the cause or source of the force is spacetime, not some "invisible magnetic pull or attraction" between/within the bodies themselves.
A magnet has a magnetic field which interacts upon other magnetic bodies to attract them towards the strongest part of the field.
Dark matter organizes/creates matter, dark matter exerts a distortion in spacetime, then that distortion manifests its behavior on matter in the form of "gravitational attraction," but the source remains the dark matter even if it seems related to the matter.
Think of a shadow. A monolith might seem to create a shadow by blocking the Sun, but the shadow is nowhere to be found if a cloud passes by because the real cause of the shadow is the Sun.
There is no "shadow" within the monolith.
It's a little like studying koans in Zen Buddhism, seemingly contradictory but true.
