Thread is closed. OP has been advised to do some reading first before asking broad questions.
Is Gravity a force??What is basic difference between Einstein and Newton's view on Gravity??
 
on Phys.org
No one knows what gravity is. And in general, no one knows what nature really is.

Gravity is modeled to be a force in classical mechanics. In relativity, gravity is not a force.
