But is spacetime really curved relative to the object itself? If I jump 1 meter up and down spacetime, in relation to me, is not going to change right? That video only makes sense to me if light or something travels next to a star or something and changes its path due to it actually traveling so...
When spacetime is not bent the two objects, red ball and blue ball, will move strait up the y-axis as they move through time. (Space is x and time is y).
Now I've made the assumption that either a) All things want to move the smallest possible distance to the next point in time or b) all...
Wow thanks to all of you for your incredible answers! I have gotten a much better hang of it now but of course I realize that I can't understand it in much more detail than what you have explained until I have read physics at university level, which I look forward to doing.
Looks like a nice...
To begin with I'd like to thank you for your good answer. I now understand that gravity is even more complex then I first thought and that I might have to wait until I go to a university before I can understand it more.
I have some questions though. I do believe I understand your ant example...
I'm starting to get (Already am) really annoyed at how it is impossible to find an answer to what gravity is. For years (yes YEARS) I have looked for an answer to why objects are drawn to each other. Since I'm posting the question here it is kind of obvious that I have not found the answer yet...
