"This theory of surfaces by Gauss has been extended by Riemann to continua of any arbitrary number of dimensions and has thus paved the way for the general theory of relativity" - Albert Einstein ( 1879 - 1955 )

Finally and most importantly, Einstein is not telling us what gravity is, but rather he is giving us a geometric proxy as to how to best operationally describe a gravitational field as explained as follows:

Time Relativity

"and the 'curvature' of space is dependent on the matter distributed over space ... so in the general theory of relativity ... the laws regulating the behavior of these objects ( clocks and measuring rods ) depend on where they happen to be", from "Space - Time", 1926, by Albert Einstein ( 1879 - 1955 )
