Time and space bend? Understanding the theory of relativity made easy.
What if the universe we know could actually bend like a soft rubber sheet?Just as a heavy ball sinks when placed on a trampoline, celestial bodies with mass bend the space around them downward.Even light, the fastest thing in the universe, bends along the curves of this warped space as it travels.The pulling force we call "gravity" is actually the phenomenon of objects naturally sliding down along the curves of this warped spacetime.Amazingly, when space bends, time stretches with it. The stronger the gravity you experience, the slower time flows for you.Then, what would happen to the flow of time if we approached a "black hole," the place with the strongest gravity in the universe?▶ Read interactively
