Force is naturally associated with something acting on anything. Eletromagnetic forces are bipolares, i.e., charges are of opposite signals to atract one another. Why gravity is monopolar ? The einsteins elastic rubber example imply on a kind of hyerarchy of forces, so, it would possible that such hyerarchy of forces possibly causes what we know as gravity ?

General Relativity theory describes gravity as the geometry of space-time and as Wheeler said:

Matter tells space-time how to curve and space-time tells matter how to move.

Why matter likes to travel space-time geodesics can't be answered until perhaps we have a theory of everything when all will be revealed until we find something that isn't...

I like the old story of the Earth being supported in the heavens by sitting on the back of a giant. The giant? He's standing on a turtle. The turtle? It's standing on another and its turles all the way down...

You're taking that rubber sheet analogy too seriously. It doesn't "imply" anything because it's not really how gravity works, it's just a generally misleading analogy.

You might try searching this forum for other discussions of the rubber sheet analogy, as well as poster A.T.'s videos and animations of gravity at work.
