@davids_orbit: Gravity isn’t a force pulling things like an invisible rope. It’s what happens when mass changes the shape of space and time around it. In this animation, the large sphere represents a massive object like a planet or star. Its mass curves spacetime more strongly, which is why the grid bends deeper near it. The smaller sphere still bends spacetime, just less, because curvature depends on energy and mass. Nothing is “being dragged” downward, objects simply follow the straightest possible paths through a curved geometry, called geodesics. When the smaller sphere orbits, it isn’t fighting gravity. It’s moving forward while spacetime itself is curved, so its path becomes a loop instead of a straight line. The deeper the curvature, the tighter the orbit. This same idea explains real phenomena: planetary motion, gravitational lensing, and even time running slower near massive objects. Where spacetime bends more, clocks tick differently because space and time are part of one structure. Think of the grid as a visual guide, not a literal fabric. The bending represents how distances and timing change when mass is present. #Physics #GeneralRelativity #Spacetime #gravity #ScienceTok

No one will ever change my mind on gravity not being a FORCE, Gravity in fact is a SUPER FORCE.

can you add a top to that so everyone can see full effect?

this doesn't explain how Mercury and Neptune orbit on the same plane. doesn't this model actually prove they can't?

pour que la gravité marche faut qu'il y a de la matière autour dans l'espace il n'y a pas même sur cette image en voie une espèce de structure en étoile d'araignées pour nous montrer comment la gravité fonctionne mais dans l'espace il n' y a rien de cela c'est le vide donc pourquoi la terre ou les étoiles en de la gravité ? pourquoi personne ne ce pose cette question

its not a pull. its spacetime "curling" you towards other masses.
think it it like the universes is pushing it all together.
