General Relativistic Description
•What we call “gravity” is really bending of our 3-d space in some higher dimension.
•Bending, or “curvature of space” is caused by presence of mass.
•More mass implies more bending.
•
•If bending is enough, space closes back on itself, 
just like 2-d surface of earth is bent enough in 3rd dimension
to close back on itself.
