Abstract
The general theory of relativity extends the special theory of relativity to account for gravity (acceleration) and results in the postulation that matter curves spacetime, where gravitation is the embodiment of the spacetime curvature. The curvature of spacetime is modeled using Riemannian geometry. In this paper, it is proposed that matter rotates spacetime hyperbolically, rather than curves spacetime. As a result, gravitation is the embodiment of the hyperbolic rotation of spacetime. Regions in spacetime that have a larger magnitude of rotation relative to other regions of spacetime, ceteris paribus, experience stronger gravity, gravitational time dilation, gravitational length contraction, and gravitational frequency shift toward the red (blue) in the electromagnetic waves moving away (toward).
