I understand that gravity and constant falling on parent stars affects it, but I'm mostly interested whether Steven Hawking's theory about big objects affecting the time-space fabric by pulling them down and creating kind of holes is the latest.

It's called the accretion disc theory.
Look it up.
Nothing to do with holes (rabbit or black)

Kepler's Three Laws of Planetary Motion.
1. Planets move around the Sun in ellipses, with the Sun at one focus
2. The line connecting the Sun to a planet sweeps equal areas in equal times.
3. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube (3rd power) of the mean distance from the Sun

Someone will correct me if I'm behind the times here, but I'm pretty sure that's Einstein. General Relativity says that an orbiting body is following a path that is actually straight, but straight in space-time that is curved. It's just another explanation for gravity.
