Space-Time Theories

Space-time theories, primarily Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, describe how gravity is not just a force between masses but a curvature of the four-dimensional fabric made of space and time. Massive objects like planets and stars warp this fabric, and this curvature guides the movement of other objects, which we perceive as gravity. Essentially, mass and energy tell space-time how to curve, and this curvature influences how objects move through space and time, creating the phenomena we observe as gravitational attraction.
