: How does gravity cause time distortion ?

1.84K views

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 ?

I know right! It’s super cool. You ever watch that Star Trek Enterprise episode where they were encountering “spacial distortions” that warped everything they touched? Well instead of thinking about gravity as a force think about it a bit like that, a distortion in the fabric of the universe. It stretches everything – including time.
