General Theory of Relativity - A Simple Visualization of Space Time Curvature - The The Schwarzschild Metric

Curvature of Space-Time

Spacetime Fabric

According to General Relativity, gravity is not a force, but rather a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy.

Massive bodies like stars and planets create "potential wells." The denser the mass, the deeper the metric deformation.
