🌌✨ Gravity Wells: How Objects Distort Space-Time 🕳️

Imagine space-time as a giant, invisible fabric. When a massive object—like a planet, star, or black hole—sits on this fabric, it bends and distorts it, creating what we call a gravity well. 🌠

The larger the mass, the deeper the well. This is why planets orbit stars—they’re “falling” into the star’s curved space-time but never quite reaching it. Black holes? Their wells are so deep that not even light can escape. 🕳️

In a way, gravity isn’t pulling objects—it’s space-time itself curving around them. Could we one day harness this effect for futuristic propulsion? 🚀

Man I love physical examples like this. Makes it so much easier to understand

[jajoojaj]

that is the perfect simulation even for kids

[tonyvance]

Then why aren't we spiraling into the sun. Explain this please.

[emanuelespa]

Too simple. You use gravity to explain gravity. Hence you do not explain anything.

Someone tell me if gravity really works tht way, I doubt.
