Gravity is best understood as the curvature of the fabric of space-time rather than a traditional force. According to Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, massive objects such as stars and planets curve the fabric of space-time around them. This curvature affects the motion of other objects in the vicinity, causing them to move along curved paths. What we perceive as the force of gravity is actually the effect of this curvature on the motion of objects.
In this view, gravity is not a force transmitted through space like other fundamental forces (such as electromagnetism). Instead, objects with mass or energy create a distortion in the fabric of space-time, and other objects moving through that curved space-time are influenced by the curvature. The more massive an object is, the greater the curvature it produces, and the stronger the gravitational effect it has on other objects.
Einstein's theory of general relativity has been confirmed by numerous experiments and observations, and it provides a highly accurate description of gravity in a wide range of contexts. However, it's worth noting that scientists continue to explore the nature of gravity and seek a more complete understanding through ongoing research and theoretical developments.
