Gravity Rubber Sheet Analogy

Since i read cosmos long ago i see the same analogy about the balls rolling on a rubber sheet used to explain how gravity works.

Gravity rubber sheet analogy.

Now physicists have tested this idea theoretically and experimentally and say it doesn t hold water. The right hand side of this pair of drawings is closer to real life but still not accurate. This state of affairs is almost entirely the result of one the most famous analogies in science. Experiments reveal that deformed rubber sheet is not like spacetime.

The rubber sheet analogy for einstein s general relativity model of gravity is a popular way to visualize the effect mass has on the curvature of spacetime. The rubber sheet or trampoline analogy for gravity is flawed because it is not fully three dimensional as a real star and planets would be. The rubber sheet analogy for einstein s general relativity model of gravity is a popular way to visualize the effect mass has on the curvature of spacetime. My single group quasi experimental study with repeated measures was designed to assess the effectiveness of the rubber sheet analogy in teaching gravitational fields.

But a ball rolls on a surface because gravity is pulling it down. My single group quasi experimental study with repeated measures was designed to assess the effectiveness of the rubber sheet analogy in teaching gravitational fields.
