Caption: Einstein's theory of general relativity may be interpreted in terms of a curvature of space in the presence of a gravitational field. Here we see a representation of how this curvature varies near a black hole (this is only a representation, not a realistic illustration, because the curvature of space near a black hole is actually a distortion of three-dimensional space, not two-dimensional space as shown here).
