Thats an easy one. The universe is held together by really long, really skinny strings. Gravity is a vibration that travels along the string. I'm surprised you didn't know that.

What is gravity? ... Nobody seems to have any answers. I think Einstein must have been quite close, gravity is the shape of the universe. The real question becomes: Why does this universe have the shape? I have been trying to investigate whether at the time of the big bang a roughly equal but negative universe was created. The attraction between particles and anti-particles in the other universe could be producing distortions in space that we call gravity. Strict electro-weak forces do not seem to account for the attraction if the separating distance is symetric, so I am hoping to understand a folding which allows the distance to be smaller without the universes coming into contact (which would be violent).
