Bowling ball rubber sheet analogy

In summary: I was saying.In summary, the rubber sheet bowling ball analogy is often used to visually explain gravity in layman's terms. It typically involves two dimensions of space, but it has been suggested that using one dimension of space and one of time would be a better representation of general relativity. However, the rubber sheet analogy is often criticized for not fully capturing the unique characteristics of general relativity. It can be a useful tool for beginners, but it should be used with constraints and is not a comprehensive explanation of gravity.

The typical rubber sheet bowling ball analogy to "explain" gravity visually in layman's terms always seems to be two space dimensions. Why don't we use one dimension of space and the other of time? Both are curved by mass and everybody takes Eucledean/Cartesian type flat graphs of, say, x and t as a matter of course. Is it too much to imagine such a traditional layout deformed/curved? Or is there a fundamental flaw in an x,t curved representation that is worse than the typical representation?

Your key word there is "layman."

While your examples may very well work, the majority of laymen haven't taken any physics outside of high school physics, and many others barely squeaked by in high school with a C in algebra 2/trig. Those people won't remember/care what a Cartesian graph is.

We use the bowling ball/rubber sheet explanation to give these people a clear picture of what we're trying to explain. The easier it is for you to break something down to a fundamental level, the more likely you are to communicate what you're trying to say.

I gave a lecture on Tuesday on an Introductory Quantum Mechanics course I'm taking, and my audience was a bunch of high school freshmen and sophomores who were only there because their teacher was offering them extra credit for attending. Because of this I could only graze over a lot of the more intense linear algebra (e.g. infinite dimensional vector spaces, operators and commutators, etc.) in order to keep things on a level that they could understand. I learned after the first proof I gave (simple normalization of psi) that no one understood it, and that I had to keep things simple in order for them to kind of get the gist of what I was saying.

Moral of the story: keep it simple, or else your audience won't understand.

With all due respect to those trying to offer some simple analogy into a very complicated subject, I don’t think the rubber sheet analogy works.

The problem I have with the rubber sheet analogy is that it appears to be more appropriate for the Newtonian theory of gravity. I’ve used it that way. The depth that a single bowling ball sinks is proportional to its Newtonian gravitational force. The changing depth of the sheet around the ball demonstrates the force field gradient perfectly. The depth around multiple balls demonstrates force field superposition. The direction the balls move demonstrates Euclidian vector addition. Etc. Etc. Etc. As far as I can tell, it demonstrates nothing about the unique characteristics of general relativity.

Intelligent laymen, having pondered the rubber sheet analogy, conclude that general relativity is nothing more that a different way of describing Newton’s theory. That's not good.

Well, you have only one space dimension so you cannot visualize how circular orbits work. Just linear free fall, along the radial coordinate.

It is not a clear picture. It confuses people, who really try to understand how mass attraction is explained by GR. The space curvature represented by the bowling ball/rubber sheet has only marginal effects (greater light bending, orbit precession) most laymen don't even know about. What they know are apples falling from trees, and the bowling ball/rubber sheet analogy doesn't explain this.

I second that. Rubber sheets are good to represent Newtonian gravitational potential. Not to explain GR:

Actually, to "explain" gravity, curved time only suffice. The curvature of space is very small in the solar system. It's almost flat, about 10^-8. That's why it took 100-year observation to find out something is wrong with the Mercury orbit. Since the perihelion shift of Mercury is just too small.
In his book, Gravity from the Ground Up, Schutz says, "All of Newtonian gravitation is simply the curvature of time".

well of course it does: it gives "first look" for many at what curved spacetime means...if that's as far as it goes, it's a useful little tool...all one has to do is to think that the sheet deforms in the presence of the ball rather than due to it's direct contact weight to get a slight feel for curved space. And of course it's use like any analogy or simplified explanation requires constraints.

In any case, I was not trying to advocate anything here one way or another, just wondering.

The main problem is that curved space alone doesn't explain gravity in sense of mass attraction. The layman wants to know, why apples are falling from trees (time curvature). And instead he gets served effects like orbit precession (space curvature), which he cannot observe himself.

I don't think that's necessarily so: for example if one pictures a bowling ball already depressing a rubber sheet and then a marble being introduced with some velocity at the edge of the depression, it's possible to visualize how "curved/depressed space" causes the marble to orbit the bowling ball...yes it's imperfect, the question is whether it's better than no visualization at all.

That's all very nice, but not a visualization of general relativity, but rather Newtonian gravitation with the rubber sheet representing the field potential. The Newtonian force is the negative gradient of this potential and points to the steepest descent, where the marble is also accelerated towards.

Where is GR here? Where are geodesics? People already familiar with Newton will ask "What's new about this? Where is the difference?"

I'm very in favor of visualizations, but the right ones, that make sense to the thinking laymen too. I posted links to examples above.

I would like to make a partial concession to Naty1 and admit that the rubber sheet analogy does have some use. It was the first example I ever saw that suggested that the consequences of gravity could come from some kind of distortion in the space between masses.

But I still think of it as a good visual aid for Newton's gravity. For general relativity, I only "got it" last year, when I saw the the example posted by A.T.

It's incorrect to say "the consequences of gravity could come from some kind of distortion in the space between masses". It comes from the "curvature of time".

All of Newtonian gravitation is simply the curvature of time.

Thanks feynmann. So I guess I got the wrong idea from the rubber sheet analogy. At this point, someone could tell me gravity is like an ice cream cone and all I could say is "Wow".

I think, with regards to the "rubber sheet" analogy, we're all missing the elephant in the room. This analogy is meaningless because it uses gravity to explain gravity. The ball pushes "downward" (whatever that actually means) on the rubber sheet only because there is something else under the sheet pulling on the ball.

This analogy is so flawed it is rendered meaningless, it's not only circular but also acausal.

For explaining space curvature via embedding the "bump" should be shown going up, to prevent people getting the wrong idea.

Maybe the rubber sheet cartoon is not completely hopeless at representing GR.

First, it can manifest the propagation of gravity waves, if the rubber is floppy enough. Wobble the bowling ball around somewhat briskly, and the disturbance propagates outward in finite time, unlike the instantaneous reaction that Newtonian gravity would predict.

It might also demonstrate the precession of apsides for Mercury. The shape formed by the stretched rubber funnel around the bowling ball is not exactly a cone; the heavier the bowling ball, the less conical it will be. Therefore orbits of a marble rolling around the funnel will not quite be conic sections, i.e. the extrema of a nearly-elliptical orbit in the funnel will precess.

Yes s/he should. The "bump" going up doesn't fix anything. Now why does the marble "fall" toward the bowling ball?

So we are visualizing some curved "thing" around an object. Now, why does the other object move toward it?

In the rubber sheet analogy the object falls down the curved surface of this "space object". But the effect we're trying to explain is what we observe as "falling down". So we observe that objects "fall down" to Earth and the rubber sheet analogy says that yes, objects do indeed "fall down" toward each other. See? What the ball "fall down".

The analogy is just plain worthless. The reason GR correctly correlates Mercury's orbit is because "time dilation" contributes +4BF, "space contraction" contributes -2BF, and momentum increase (with increasing speed) contributes +1BF giving the observed amount, 3BF. BF is the "basic form" for describing elliptical motion: n*u/(c2*a*(1-e2)) where n=2*pi/P is the orbital mean motion of the planet, P is its orbital period, u is the product of the gravitational constant and the mass of the Sun (in the case of Mercury), a is the semi-major axis (mean distance) of the orbit, e is orbital eccentricity, and c = speed of light. Of course Einstein was aware that Mercury's orbit is 3 integer multiples of this formula (within experimental error) and adjusted the metrics accordingly.

Of course this is not very good for the layman, but the rubber sheet analogy is either patronizing or disinformative. Worst of all it may be deceptive, making the layman believe GR has a physical interpretation when it is just an excellent quantitative description.

Don't use the rubber sheet analogy, let it die, it's awful. If you want to understand GR start with Newton and move forward, reading as much of the original work as you can get your hands on. These cartoons inhibit understanding and sometimes move it backwards, don't do yourself the disservice. To understand GR you need math, because GR is a mathematical theory. You can't understand GR by visualization, no matter how hard popularizers of the theory try to do so. Every visual analogy suffers fatal flaws that render it meaningless.

Not some curved thing but the spatial curvature and its effects like orbit precession.

If you mean Newtonian mass attraction: Purely spatial curvature doesn't explain it. You need the time dimension like http://www.relativitet.se/spacetime1.html" [Broken].

Every physical theory uses math. But GR is also a geometrical theory.

I disagree. Visualization is very useful to understand geometrical theories. Einstein wouldn't have come up with GR, if Minkowski had not visualized SR.

That seems a rather bold assertion, that GR shall never be explained on physical grounds that can be visualized. Maybe not bowling balls and a rubber sheet, but perhaps some visual model not yet known to us will one day let high school students learn mathematically correct GR in their honors Physics courses.

"Not some curved thing" -AT

Okay so space is not a thing. The "space" in GR is just a useful parameter in the equations, not a physical thing. Things are visualizable, non-things are not visualizable.

"Every physical theory uses math" -AT

Only at the conclusion step of the sci meth, if at all. Mathematical correlations are just additional evidence at the end to convince everyone else of your theory. The first step we do in physics is visualize the physical entity(ies) involved. If we cannot visualize them, the theory is not a physical explanation, it's a mathematical model.

"But GR is also a geometric theory" -AT

Geometry is the study of shape. But GR's "space" and "time" are not things with shape, they are just concepts. Einstein may have guided his intuition by visualization, but his theory has nothing to do with geometry if space and/or time are not things.

nick,

GR is based on 4D "objects". I am saying that nobody will ever visualize a 4D "object". This alone renders GR only physically comprehensible by analogy, and we call it an "analogy" for a reason, it never quite matches "the real thing".

If something moves along a line in space, you can omit 2-space dimensions, and visualize a 2D-spacetime. Works fine for me, and you don't have to use it, if you don't like it.

Are you reading your own posts? You just said it was NOT some curved "thing". Things people can visualize, non-things people cannot visualize.

Are you reading carefully? Omitting 2 space dimensions reduces the problem to an analogy. Just like putting a stick figure on a sphere. It's just an analogy. If it were the "real thing" it wouldn't be an analogy and we'd be able to visualize "the real thing".

Go ahead, show us 'a' 4D space-time?

The only time a visualization equals understanding is if you can visualize what you are trying to understand. If you are trying to understand GR, and GR is based on 4D entities, then you cannot visualize nor by extension understand GR through visualization. When we visualize a stick figure on a rubber sheet with depressions in it and stick figures "living" on/in it we are not understanding GR. We are understanding a theory about Flatland at *best*.

GR is based on geometric concepts like geodesics and intrinsic curvature, which can be easily visualized and understood on 2D manifolds. The extension to 4D is not necessary for simple examples like movement along one space dimension, which are sufficient to explain how geodesics and intrinsic curvature imply what we perceive as mass attraction.

Of course, GR is 4D, but there are some situations where all the relevant information is contained within a 2D cross-section -- in the same way that some aspects of Euclidean geometry can be understood in two dimensions only.

I have studied N-dimensional vector spaces, not only when N is finite and greater than 3, but even when N is infinite. And I used my geometrical intuition to help me. Concepts like orthogonality and "length" still make sense in higher dimensions -- as coordinate-independent concepts -- and a geometrical picture can help you cope with such concepts. (For example, to find the distance between a point and a hyperplane, drop a perpendicular.) Of course, you have to back up your intuition with rigorous calculation, but the geometrical picture is still a big help in getting to grips with the subject. The trick, which comes with experience, is to know which concepts generalise to higher dimensions and which don't.

Remember GR is a model of reality, it is not reality itself. In circumstances where a 2D model gives the same answer as a 4D model (because the other two dimensions are irrelevant), by all means use the simpler 2D model which is easier to visualise.

the scientific definition: shape and location

Done, as far as science is concerned. In philosophy they can go on and on all they want.

DrGreg just reiterated what I said, that visualizations are merely models we use to help guide our intuition. Sometimes they extend and sometimes they don't. But the fact is you can't visualize 'a' 4D "object" anymore than you can visualize 'a' 1D "object". DrGreg mentioned calculations, the argument here, in this thread, is about visual analogies. I'm saying you cannot understand GR through visualization or any visual analogy because you cannot visualize a single "object" of GR.

1. What is the bowling ball rubber sheet analogy?

The bowling ball rubber sheet analogy is a commonly used concept in physics to explain the effects of gravity on objects in space. It compares the curvature of a rubber sheet caused by a heavy object, such as a bowling ball, to the curvature of space caused by a massive object, such as a planet.

2. How does the analogy relate to gravity?

The analogy demonstrates how the presence of a massive object, like a bowling ball or planet, creates a curvature in space that causes other objects to be pulled towards it. This is similar to how a heavy object placed on a rubber sheet causes the sheet to curve and objects placed on the sheet to roll towards the center.

3. Can the analogy be used to explain other phenomena besides gravity?

Yes, the bowling ball rubber sheet analogy can also be used to explain the effects of mass and gravity on the behavior of light and the bending of light around massive objects, known as gravitational lensing.

4. Are there any limitations to the analogy?

While the bowling ball rubber sheet analogy is a helpful visualization, it is important to note that it is a simplified representation of the complex nature of gravity and the curvature of space. It does not accurately depict the three-dimensional nature of space and the effects of gravity on a large scale.

5. How is the analogy used in scientific research and education?

The bowling ball rubber sheet analogy is commonly used in science education to help students understand the concept of gravity and its effects on objects in space. It is also used in scientific research to illustrate and explain complex theories and phenomena related to gravity and the curvature of space.
