This is exactly how gravity works, it warps space.

Now many scientists say that the only thing that could be making the universe expand faster is gravity. But they can't locate or measure that gravity, only it's affects.
Would this not then based on your example require a mass outside the universe to pull the universe out much like the tennis ball needs the bowling ball?

Amp I know I am quoting Choker here but thank you for your explanation as well.
