Answer 1

is this diagnosis correct?

imagine space time like a trampoline

the surface is flat if no objects r on it

if an object is on it then the surface of space time will sink and stretch around the object

imagine 2 objects on the trampline spacetime

one object is heavy bowling ball and it makes trampoline stretch and sink around bowler ball allot

now imagine the other object is ping pong ball, only sinks n stretches spacetime a tiny bit

but the pingpong ball will get closer to ballerball because of the deeper stretch n sink formed by the bowlingball

the pingpong is being pulled torwards ballerballs by ballrballs gravity
