The primary assumption of General Relativity is that matter "warps" space. "Warps" means: causes a depression that holds mass in place or motion, while its depression moves towards all other such depressions in space.

The second assumption is the Riemann geometry and tensor calculus can be used to explain the motions of all matter and light within a 4 dimensional Minkowski spacetime manifold.

Can gravity exert its force on space and time?

Before you depend on this "General Relativity", you should check what it depend on. It relativises its reference frames, arguments, concepts, imaginations, assumptions in a big and complicated circle --- its base is relative. If you want to lean on something based on that shaky ground, it's your choice.
