Thanks again to everybody for your responses. I can see that my original question could give birth to a million more. I am new at this. I think i need to do some reading and get my fundamentals down.

Back to this. a simpler version of my question of "is the warp infinite" would have been for me to ask if dead space is also dispersed. If i throw a rock in a lake all the water has to move, basically. So if a new object pops into existence in space, the warp would only affect its...

wait...sorry, just want to make sure i understand you. When you say local, you mean local to the "photon" right? Edit - I think i got it now. You're talking about proper time. A clock on the object. I got that, but just found another cool adamstoon visualization that clarified things a bit...

Thanks for the reading list bill - much appreciated. I got the calculus book already. Thank you for the direction

Thank you - I knew that's what someone would say. I am getting some ebooks now

So basically this is saying that if a photon, for example, was traveling in an assumed straight line past a massive object, it would actually slow down while passing by it? hence the time dimension of the fabric. The adamtoons thing was great, Thank you. So i need to think less about the...

Hi all. great forum. I am fairly new to physics, looking to learn. Thanks for having me

Hi all. Been reading this forum for a few days. A bit overwhelming. I've been studying quantum physics on my own for about a year. My learning started out with youtube docs, and mostly still is. a lot of Michio Kaku. You guys are probably laughing at me here. I started my search for...

Thanks for taking the time to explain that, and for the book link peter. I can't honestly say i completely understand, but I am getting closer, and I feel a lot better about learning that it's people in general, and not just me, that has trouble visualizing curved surfaces with more than two...

Thanks for the response newjersey runner. That makes sense, but I may not have been completely clear explaining the scenario in my head. What i meant about the fabric bending infinitely is in this scenario... A brand new object either appears out of nowhere or has an extreme gain of mass...

thanks for the responses ok, but what about this? Assume there is a massive object warping the space-time fabric. Would the warp be infinite? or maybe gradually declining. In my head i am imagining a wormhole... with the space-time fabric folded over to meet at the wormhole, but suppose...

The concept of the fabric of time and space is confusing to me. I understand that an object with large mass can warp it, but that only makes sense to me if the fabric had only two spatial dimensions (assuming no warps). The space-time fabric is always explained visually as a flat plane, but...
