Space Time is curved?

Hi all,

I was reading some material last week on the general theory of relativity and apparently the theory states that space time is curved!!!

According to the theory, mass curves the space time fabric....

So you could wormhole from one area to another shaving many light years of your time.

But how does mass curve space time??? is there an article somewhere in the net that can explain the finer points of mass curving spacetime in laymans terms yet without being too superficial?
or perhaps one a member could explain this clearer....

Also, for those well verse in astrophysics... is this the general relativity the generally accepted theory amongst astronomy buffs?
or has there already been another more advance theory that is widely accepted instead of this one?

He publish this in 1910 I think.... almost 100 years ago now.
