Space Time Is Curved

What do they mean when they say space time is curved? I keep hearing a lot of talk about Space Time being the 4th dimension, and no matter how many trampoline examples I see, I just don’t get it.

I want to say the trampoline example is bad but I won’t because that’s as close as it gets to see it in real. The below video breaks that misconception (??).

In short, imagine a 3d mesh instead of a single plane like the trampoline. That’ll help you visualize what space time curvature is. We know how it bendd but I guess we still don’t know why!
