Gravity: Compounded Space (Time) Signal?

[QUOTE="A.T., post: 6435845, member: 85613"] I think the conceptual question you have in mind here has nothing to do with General Relativity. You can pose it in terms of the Newtonian gravitational potential, where your pictures are much more relevant to the attraction: [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_potential[/URL] The question is: Why do two bodies come together, if each is in its own self-generated potential minimum? The answer is. With a second massive body present, the individual potential wells are not perfectly centered symmetrically around each body, but are distorted with a bias towards the other body. This accelerates each body towards the other one. [/QUOTE]
