What explanation does the theory of general relativity provide for gravity?

Gravity is a result of curved spacetime
But apart from providing that abstract concept it does not provide any mechanism or explanation.

When did Einstein prove the theory of Relativity?
In November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his 1916 paper on his theory of gravity, general relativity. General relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton's more than 250 years earlier.It has never been proven, and it never will be. However, there is a vast amount of evidence consistent with it, and so far nothing has contradicted it either. Einstein didn't prove the theory -- he just created it.The above paragraph is not entirely correct. There is the Gravity Probe B experiment which should provide some conclusive results regarding proving the theory in the near future. See the following links for more information:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/gpb/index.htmlhttp://einstein.stanford.edu/highlights/status1.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_Probe_BThe atomic clock has proven his time dialation to be correct.
DO man age slowly in space?
Full studies have not been conducted, but there are some factors that indicate you would age more slowly in space. The lack of gravity would be the single biggest help. Based on physics, if you move in a time frame at the velocity of light, it will provide you time dilation and hey! you are still younger.
