According to general relativity, the detected gravitational attraction among celestial bodies results from those bodies’ warping of time and space. General relativity has become a vital tool in modern astrophysics. It lays out the base for the present understanding of a black hole, a region of space where gravity is so strong that not even normal light can escape.
Massive objects bend space-time around them, making things appear to accelerate towards them. That explains why we feel a downwards pull towards Earth and why Earth orbits the sun.
