Gravity is one of nature's four fundamental forces, together with electromagnetism, weak force, and strong force. The most precise description is given by the general theory of relativity, which is a consequence of the space-time curvature.

    camtech56: You are correct as to asymptotes, but to represent in a more appropriate way, the figure should be larger, which would not contribute much to the purpose of the save. Thanks for the visit and contribution.

    You're missing some lines in the deeper depression diagrams. Also, it's "Event horizon". But apart from that, very great looking and if no external programs/scripts were used I am thoroughly impressed!

    You should explain that one of the more important consequences of general relativity is that it obeys the simultaneity of relativity. When Newton made his law, even he thought it was wrong as it does not account for time. General relativity on the other hand accounts for time (and causaltiy) as gravitational waves take time to travel through spacetime

    I believe they are, which is why you can never really reach the singularity (there is no real end, and time slows down the closer you get)

    Hold on a second. Aren't singularities supposed to be represented as asymptotes in this model?

    New_man100000: If you look at the plane representing space-time, in isometric view, it is within the parameters of three orthogonal axes that are implicit. I could rather show the lines of the three spatial dimensions curving toward the mass, but I would be very confused, running away from the save intent. Thank you very much for your participation, with the tip and the model, for the improvement of "our" save.

    MAS2015: if you use orthogonal system vectors...

    MEOWS: Using the properties tool and doing tmp = 1. Thanks for the visit. I hope I have helped.
