I just can’t put my head around the fact that gravity isn’t just a force
EDIT : I now get how it gets stretched and how it’s comparable to putting a ball on a stretchy piece of fabric and everything but why is *gravity* comparable to that. I guess my new question is what is gravity ? 🙂 and how can weight affect it ?
In: Physics
I like to think of it (perhaps completely erroneously) as a parable to optics: Like diffraction isn’t a force, but curvature caused by differing density of media, gravity isn’t a force but curvature caused by differing density of spacetime.
The big difference is density of media usually has sharp defines, where spacetime density is made up of gradients.
