so i was arguing with a friend of mine , and one moment it just clicked to me that *bare with me my scientific inaccuracies *
what if the universe is just one huge sheet of cloth , with 4 people holding it at each vertex
now imagine a big melon in the middle , of course we all know it would go down and make a curve around it * like what einstein and others said *
now imagine an ant standing right next to the melon ( on the sheet of cloth ) , and ant on the melon itself
now what if the two ants move with the same speed , the one on the melon would cover more distances in less time , while the one on the sheet covers less distances in the same time * i am talking about horizontal distance since the ant can't really see the curve , ants are stupid they don't understand curves ! * , wouldn't the ant think that time has slowed down for the other ant ? because it takes it more time to cover the same distance that the ant on the melon covers ?
i am just trying to understand how time-space thing work by imagining it ..
now this is probably the most cartoonistic way to explain how gravity would affect * if it is even half correct * , i just want to know how correct could that thought be ?
