spacetime curvature
Spacetime curvature refers to the bending or warping of the fabric of the universe, resulting from the presence of mass and energy. It is described by Einstein's theory of general relativity, illustrating how the presence of massive objects distorts the geometry of space and time, leading to the curvature of light paths and the influence of gravity.
