Is it true that under general relativity, gravity is the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that general relativity describes gravity as the curvature of spacetime, with mass-energy (and related quantities like pressure and stress) serving as the source of that curvature.
