Hi, that is a mathematical description, i want to know what is in the matter that makes space curve.

+

if energy curve space as well, than in the big bang, how come space expanded?

+

if a neutron planet moving in space and curve the space in front of it, is the planet stretches by it's own power?

+

are there graviton plantes?

many basic question, hope you can help me with that
thanks
