Fantastic answer! Thanks for putting it into words I can understand! Take care now.

I'm not sure why you say the difference would be .5m? Where did you get that number from? Because if the "space curves" conclusion is correct then placing the metal cube would indeed bend the space around it, but surely it wouldn't bend by a whole .5m in every direction? Much like gravity, the...

I don't understand your answer. Are you saying that 1) objects take up space -or - 2) space curves to accommodate objects

... I'm sorry, I guess I meant shape, not size... If you have a bathtub full of water and you throw rocks inside, the water level will rise, because the shape of the water curves around the rocks... So is it fair to say that if you (for visualization purposes) had the whole universe in a...

So do objects not affect the shape of space then? Because I read that gravity was caused by space "curving" around an object? Michiu Kaku says this much: Now obviously this is just a simple extrapolation for visualization purposes, but one could say here that the sheet does move to make way...

Do objects really take up space, or does space bend around objects (like when you put a heavy object in water, and the water bends around the object to make room for it)? In other words, does matter effect the size of space? Like if you removed all physical matter from the universe, would the...
