In the general theory of relativity, Einstein incorporated gravity as a geometric property of space-time, i. e. a 'curvature' in space-time. In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum, and it can be described by four coordinates, three coordinates of space and one of time. Denser object distort space-time more causing it to curve around more, than lighter objects. In particular, the curvature of space-time is directly related to the momentum and energy of the matter and radiation present. In the general theory of relativity Einstein summed up this relation by the Einstein field equations.

It is 5.5 km from your home to the physics lab. As part of your physical fitness program, you could run that distance at 10 km/h (which uses up energy at the rate of 700 W), or you could walk it leisurely at 3.0 km/h (which uses energy at 290 W).
