Is the Earth just a mass within a vast, curved space-time fabric?

[doey]

I have no idea about it,

as my understanding,that Mr.Einstein depicted that what actually happening in space are above on a plane and flat Space-time fabric.Is this telling us that the Earth around is nothing ?What i trying to say is the surrounding of a mass might not exist only a plane of space-time fabric but is totally covered the Earth itself .just like a ball inside a box,and the volume of box is infinite as space(space and time) mean we are not living on a flat space but contented in whole of it. would it be?

I find it difficult to understand your questions.

In general relativity there is a distinction between vacuum solutions, which represent spacetime where there is no matter, but this spacetime may be curved by the presence of matter elsewhere.

ya,i was talking abt this ,by the way what was illustrate as u can watching on youtube are in flat and plane.

what i was stated that the bent of the spacetime should like this
