>What are you talking about? Space is the distance between two objects.

Exactly. A measurement. Not actually something. It's like saying a "centimeter" is actually something that exists. A centimeter "of what"?

>The distance is compressed itself by mass
How? By what means? Also you just said (or the previous poster anyway) said it was "space" that was compressing it, but if it's a measure...how can it do that? It makes no sense.

>Space isn't an object like air.
...so what IS space?

>Your tiny brain can't comprehend what space is, so how can you think you are able to understand spacetime curvature?
...bro if you can't even tell me what space is, then how you describe it is irrelevant. As I said, "the sky is blue", but that doesn't explain what the sky is or what "blue" is. You could be talking about a shadow for all I know.

>The distance between two objects is locally altered by the presence of mass which causes them to globally come closer together.
I GET THAT. NOW HOW DOES IT DO THAT? What is the mode? What is the cause of what you are describing?

Cool Story Bro. Now tell me *how* and why it does that?
