Galilleo said things fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Newton explained this via gravity as universal. Newtons second law of motion vs newtons law of gravity.

Implies light curves with gravity
Implies gravity warps time

Time goes slower in a gravitational field. Gravity makes time go slower.
