Gravity is the macro-scale effect of non-euclidean space
Balls rolling in curves on rubber are the macro effect of the rubber not being flat.
Space has a tensor field of the locally correct lorentz transform.
Rubber has a vector field of the local gradient.
Both are derivatives; the fact they aren’t constant implies non-eulcidean geometry
The laplacian (second derivative) of space appears made discontinuous only by mass-energy
Ditto rubber.
If it isn’t mysterious why rubber sheets get distorted, then it shouldn’t be mysterious why space is distorted. Both are minimising the deviation of second derivative from a specified forcing, and have dynamics for the forcing over time. They are identical processes.
