I know this is probably going to sound stupid but I'm really curious for the opinion of someone who has knowledge.
Well spacetime is like a stretched bed linen. Putting on an object with a big mass, will cause its curvature.
Now imagine having a piece of fabric holding it stretced from both sides. Place a ball on it. It will curve. Just like the spacetime by a sun etc.
If we would put a force with our hand down the fabric (where the curve is), equal with the mass of the ball, the fabric would return to its first shape. Is that even possible to happen to spacetime? Could we put a force somehow in the deformed area and bring it back to its first shape?
And if that is possible, wouldn't that mean that gravity would stop since it's caused by the curvature of spacetime?
I don't know how much stupid this sounds to you but I would appreciate it if you could expalin to me why isn't it possible
Or why it is.
Thank you:)
