In Lamens terms explain gravitation in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity?

Answer 1

Hi. Einstein theorized that mass causes the space around it to 'bend' and that other objects responded to this 'bending' by moving toward the mass. This not a good analogy but imagine what happens when you 'bend' a deck of cards. They want to move in line with the curve of the bend.

Answer 2

Einstein's theory is darn near impossible (if not impossible) to visualize in 3 dimensions - but it is easily visualized in 2 dimensions.

An object warps or distorts the space around it, much like putting a small weight in the center of a thin, rubber sheet which is attached to a frame. The center is pushed down forming a funnel like shape.
If we now put a marble on the sheet, it will roll or rotate around and toward the weight - and it is this "attraction" that is the analogy to Einstein's gravity model.
That's pretty much it in a nut shell.

Answer 3

Basically Newton believed gravitation was an interaction between two matters (masses). One would be attracting the other.
According to Einstein, gravitation wouldn't be one matter interacting with other matter. It would be an interaction between the matter and the space around it. It would shorten the space near it. Producing an effect similar to attraction to other matters around it.
