    akaQA is a general (emphasis on general) question and answer forum. All members are volunteers. I do not believe we have many, if any members who are into scientific theories such as this. If this is a homework question, the volunteers generally do not agree with just answering homework questions for students as it is the student's responsibility to answer their own assignment questions. I'll leave your question because any member is free to answer it if they can but I do not think you will get many answers or even the one you are looking for. You might want to find a forum that is dedicated to science and physics, like this one: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/57599-curved-space/page-3

    Einstein's theory views gravity as a natural upshot of the geometry of curved space and ditches the notion that gravity is 'action at a distance'.. Large masses like planets move in response to the curvature of space-time distorted by mass istself. Matter tells space how to curve; curved space tells matter how to move.
