Space has something like density and compressibility that defines the speed of light.

c = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ \varepsilon_0 \mu_0}}

sounds right but too hard for me to understand.

Not really; that isn't how science works. If we did have some deeper explanation, you could always ask "why does THAT happen?".
You can derive the Einstein field equations (plus quantum corrections) from string theory, so you could say matter bends spacetime because the very existence of spacetime is a low energy, classical approximation to string theory, and string theory says that general relativity is the theory that governs this approximation.

This is very interesting indeed. You are indeed a gentleman and a scholar.
