Einstein's View of Gravity in General Relativity

We know a bit about gravity, and the fact that all masses attract all other masses. Newton figured this out in the 17th century. However, Newton never understood where gravity came from. We had to wait nearly 300 years before Einstein proposed the General Theory of Relativity, and the notion of 'warped space-time.' Check out this clip from Brian Greene's Elegant Universe.
