Theory of reversed space curvature?Space shapes mass structures?

Question

Does mass really shape space or is it the other way around.
There must Exist a Space that causes the curvature and shape of masses?Can we deduce this scientifically?
Did Einstein call it Aether?

Answer 1

It's a 'chicken and egg' type question, but the general consensus is that mass shapes space in the macro world. But, on the Planck scale, just the reverse seems to be the case. That's the reason that quantum gravitation is such a hot topic.

Answer 2

I get your point. If we lived in 2d space, like on the surface of a piece of paper, we would'nt know what up and down is. And if that flat universe was rolled up into a cylender shape, and when we travell around it (in a direct or angular direction) we would wonder why that specific direction braught us back to square one. There would be "hidden variables" that would be beyond our grasping! because those variables (knowlage of up and down) would be inexistant in that flat universe.
I think space is curved by mass but mass is also affected by space. A singularity has infinite density, therefore there is no space within it. It pulls very hard on space. I still havent gotten to read the latest findings on dark matter, I heard it has the opposite effect on space than mass , but Im not certain.

supply E S the "superb answer" Einstein's frequently used theory which replaced newtons assumptions gravity took him years and desires very state-of-the-paintings math to even start to comprehend the assumption of area -time and strains being the shortest distance between 2 factors in an area field which has curvature is very almost previous mind's eye superb clever word I even have ever pay attention: Mass tells area -time the thank you to bend, and the form of area time tells mass the thank you to bypass! ( despite that relatively skill) Einstein's theory isn't nicely suited with Quantum Mechanics it relatively is a notably solid indication we mis-comprehend some thing. the observer is often at relax with understand to its very own device. All measurements are the "relax "fee with v = 0 C is often C that's the 2nd observer in relative action that sees (measures ) the einstein- Lorentz transformation fee with the v^2/ C^2 term the ingredient of Einstein relativity is there is no absolute physique of reference "the Mechanical Universe" television practice of Cal tech physics ( annenburg Media) 1985 has an very almost comprehensible explaination
