People are doing some work, man.
People are doing some thinking.
Man, so I can answer 80% of that question.
It's an assumption that gravitation, as a force in the universe, has a force-carrying particle.
And the assumption is that if you represented classical gravity, even Einsteinian gravity, with quantum physics, it would have to have a particle.
So we even named this hypothetical particle.
So the hunt for the graviton is on.
And so the effect of the graviton and mass and energy is to curve the fabric of space and time.
Forcing you to move in certain ways that would not otherwise be the case if that were not occupying that space.
