Beautiful. Thank you very much.
 
But what is the cause of gravitational force between two bodies (they say exchange of gravitons)?? I mean how can exchange of gravitons between two bodies make them exert force on each other and that too only attractive??
 
The word "graviton" appears nowhere in this Insight.
 
Was expecting something like

"It isn't, go home folks"

It's all about curved spacetime! Hit up the Relativity forum for more info please, as this thread is for questions and comments regarding the insights article.
