Re: An Apple for Einstein

If we focus on the gravity for a minute, RP, in this 2-d image it's hard for me to depict how the force works. There have been analogies given of a bowling ball on a type of mattress whereby the weight of the ball creates an impression and slope for close-proximity objects to be drawn in toward the ball. If the mattress had a sheet on it and the ball is turned, the wrinkles created could be likened to gravitational waves that would apply counter pressure proportionate to the amplitude of the waves.

If the above is fairly accurate, could you explain how the function is in 3-d space? From your site, I can clearly see how gravity functions in 3-d, but it doesn't seem consistent with GR.

Thanks.
