      Great questions, but no easy answer,

      The concept of space-time is a mathematical model where large masses affects the fabric of space, and, like marbles on fabric, it curves it. So space can be seen as curved.

      Here is a great video to demonstrate how gravity could be seen as the result of a deformation of space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTY1Kje0yLg

      … after seeing this video, the first thing I did was to do that experiment myself…great fun 🙂
