RE: General relativity 101 - Gravitational waves in a nutshell
I love your raindrop analogy.
One question though. When Newton described gravity in his laws of motion, he was criticized as to not explaining why his laws work, only that they do work. Of course science at the time had no idea of curved space-time as an explanation.
But the criticism is only kicked down the road. Can you explain for me why mass bends space-time?

No, because we don't know. There is for the moment not any widely accepted theory answering this question. It is just that it works and that's it. Of course, we are not satisfactory and we are trying to understand things better. But this takes time. Hopefully, I will be able to answer your question one day. But no one knows... ;)
