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?

It also doesn’t help, our understanding could be wrong. The idea of curving spacetime isn’t compatible with quantized gravity. Until we further understand what’s going on, GR in it’s current form is the best we can do. Both theory and experiment have stalled.
