    | What
    we call “gravity” is really bending of our 3-d space in some higher
    dimension. 
 |  
    | Bending,
    or “curvature of space” is caused by presence of mass. 
 |  |  
    | More
    mass implies more bending. 
 |  |  
    |  |  
    | If
    bending is enough, space closes back on itself, 
 |  |  
    | just
    like 2-d surface of earth is bent enough in 3rd dimension 
 |  |  
    | to close
    back on itself.
