The curtain is going up onm the final act: Jesus spotlighted stage right (in the twilight of humanity's unawareness) is in the role of initiate on the path of personal Christhood. (Lost Years, p411)
Einstein "general" theory of relativity suggests that gravity is a consequence of the fact that space-time is not flat: it is curved or "warped" by the distribution of mass and energy in it. Bodies like the earth are not made to move on curved orbits by a force called gravity; instead they follow the nearest thing to a straight path in a curved space (called a geodesic) and appear to us to move along curved paths in our 3-dimensional space. It is possible for both space and time to be finite without any edges or boundaries (ie. one could go right around the universe and end up where one started). (A Brief History of Time, p29,30,44)
