In 1687,Isaac Newton published his law of universal gravitation, states that mathematically: F=G(m1m2/r^2), where G is a constant.

How about gravity in General Relativity?

Is it the curvature of the space ?

Hi
  In general relativity gravity is the curvature of the space-time. There is no
gravitational force, like in the Newtonian mechanics, but the space-time is
curved, and the particles (like planets, for example) move on their paths not
because there is a force acting on them, but because they follow the curvature
of the space-time.
