Why is the fabric of space bendable but also not visible by eye.

617 views

I was looking at how our solar system works and see that essentially the curvature from space and gravity or, lack of creates the movement of our planetary systems. I couldn’t seem to make sense of the details of how space is similar to a fabric and can be shaped in some way.

The example used was the age old blanket with a bowling ball in the center creating a wide curvature leading to the edges of the blanket.

How is this possible but can’t be seen, nor does it cause friction?

Find a star in the sky, but make sure when the sun comes around that it comes in front of it blocking your view. Then wait for a total solar eclipse, go to totality where the sky will be completely dark. Now the star that would have been blocked by the sun’s presence, and not just its light since it’s dark, that star might be visible. It’s light will visibly curve around the sun.
