Gravity is caused by the distortion in the space time continuum. Mass distorts space time similar to a bowling ball placed on a mattress. If you place a tennis ball on the mattress it will roll towards the bowling ball because space time (i.e. The mattress) is warped. Without a force acting upon it, an object will move in a straight line. If you draw a line on a sheet of paper, and then twist or bend the paper, the line will no longer appear straight. In the same way, the straight path of an object is bent when space and time is bent. This explains why all objects fall at the same rate. The gravity warps spacetime in a particular way, so the straight paths of all objects are bent in the same way near the Earth
