Drawing gravity in three dimensions.

A continuation of my "drawing gravity" experiment. I would say this is a conclusion to my proposal: "Try imagining it in full 3d" at the end of the first video. As always feel free to punch holes in it.

Annoying piano/strings loop by: me.

You ended up with a sphere because you chose to draw your bends symmetrically around a point. This has more to do with Cartesian geometry than gravity.

[MarcelDykstra]

Try doing this with a black hole, which has its mass compressed to a singularity. Sweeping this around would have the singularity go to infinity every direction in space. So it has its mass compressed to a singularity and is also omnipresent?

[joeyxl3456]

those lines go straight to the core of the sphere. not around it. nice vid otherwise.

What's space? Why would massive objects bend the 'fabric of space'? Let's talk about cause and effect if we want real science and stop guessing.

[FlargidyTV]

Are you saying it's the fault of space-time bends that cause large masses to be spherical? I always figured gravity was the reason objects become round when they get really big. If I'm misunderstanding something here, let me know. Cool video!

I understood it. pretty cool... but for some reson I'm not so sure if it's accurate.

@kokopelli314 i agree

[name887]

@Xaiano But don't things bend space more the more dense they get? (I'm not arguing. I really don't know.) I just remember hearing somewhere that if you compressed the earth to the size of a marble (or maybe it was a pinhead), it would be like a black hole.

[Neueregel]

cool

@Bulbalish i don't think johniboy has any idea what he is talking about

[aqouby]

mathematics fail.
