hi,

put slightly differently, the way gravity is portrayed as far as i can tell is an effect like displacement like an object in water, but curvature in space/time.

whereas there is no such similar displacement ratios, between the relative size of the sun and earth (let alone the far outer planets), which comes close to the effect that gravity has, to cause planets to orbit which is displacement orientated.

does that make sense?

Is space/time an object, if not how can an object effect it?

just trying to understand how it works, or what might be wrong with that line of understanding above, which would make it clear how it is proposed to work.

not a problem, just curious.

thanks
