Gravity is the actual warping of the fabric of space-time. The degree of warping is determined by a body's mass.
That's true, sort of, but I think that only describes what gravitation can do. It's one of the four fundamental interactions (or forces) in the universe. It's the weakest and only attracts, whereas the other three (electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces) are able to attract and repel. Gravitation is thought to involve gravitons which have yet to be discovered. It's also not really known exactly why gravity seems so much weaker than the others. Although from our day-to-day perspective on Earth, it can be pretty strong, especially if you fall or drop something.

I'm not disagreeing with you. You're absolutely right. Indeed it does involve mass and warps space-time. But it's still a description of what gravity does rather than what gravity is. All I'm saying is that it's one of the four fundamental forces.
So now you're saying that your knowledge is concrete and absolute? That you're beyond all error? Very impressive!
