As I understand it, spacetime gets curved, the traditional explanation being a thin rubber sheet. Mass deflects the rubber sheet, causing objects in motion to curve toward the mass. It is as if an object moving in a straight line continues to do so, but its "straight" path is actually curved as a result of the "medium" - spacetime - itself being curved. Put an ant on a Mobius Strip. As far as she's concerned, she's going in a straight line, when actually her path is curved.Originally posted by: MikeSci457DC
What I don't get is how people always compare evolution to gravity....
Evolution works through a mechanism called natural selection. It's observable. I've observed it.
If anyone could point me towards a clear, concise, and correct mechanism of gravity it would be wonderful. Until then I am more apt to believe in evolution than gravity.
