Simple but really nice way to visualize how gravity works

I'm still not sure :)

this was one of the best explanations of gravity I've ever seen, please start showing this in schools ASAP.

#2 While I agree that the illustration was fine, I don't really think that kids in school would grasp it when they have actually hard time doing math. This video talks about warping, and illustrates object movement while manipulating space and time. Too many variables for a school kid to comprehend. :S

Wow, excellent presentation! Even I'm fairly familiar with Physics, and the concept of space-time warping is nothing new, this way of presenting things opened my eyes on how I could teach this to my children! Thanks!

Demonstrations such as these and other single planar examples such as this one...

.... are neophytic at best, and serve only to arrest higher thinking on such matters. To imply by uniplanar demonstration, a principle that exists in at least 4 dimensions, that an object falls toward something because space and time are warped, really doesn't explain gravity. Notice the examples made use of gravity to explain it's own principle mechanism, much like explaining how a vending machine works by demonstrating that a coin put into the machine causes it to drop a candy bar into your hand. Very basic and we didn't get to see the working principle of the machine at all. Gravity and magnetism are two edges of the same thin coin and it can be readily demonstrated that the magnet creates a strong field that passes through other masses to attract ferrous materials. It doesn't attract other objects to itself simply because the medium between the two is made to curve. Simply implying that attraction occurs because the medium in which the objects exist is curved is but one of many examples of "higher learning", or more accurately, "indoctrination" that passes for education all too often in our ongoing age of intentionally 'arrested' development. The following article contains information that may shed some "light" on this subject for those who wish to understand the subject from a Truly higher perspective...
