Saw it in a movie. Can it actually happen in real life? It was shot 28 times by a Sig-Sauer P228 in the movie.
Think of the invisible fabric of space as layers of malleable fabric with object fixed within the layers. There is a layer underneath, just as scientists illustrate in their 2-dimensional depictions, but there is also the top layer over a celestial object. So, the fabric of space presses around objects from all directions, which some scientists say we call gravity. Think of how ingredients in a pie are wrapped and covered by the pie dough above and underneath, except with the fabric of space it surrounds objects from all sides like ravioli. The best way to understand it is to think of it like an ocean of layers of water which encompass all objects within it, as it does, each object warps the water or fabric around it. Just as we cannot detect the atoms in the different layers of water so too we cannot detect the layers of the fabric of space. The 2-dimensional illustrations only show part of the structure of the fabric of space, which can be misleading. The fabric is actually a network of an invisible energy threads that are in unbelievably tight layers, just as earth has many layers of crust, atmosphere, and water in the ocean or a tree has many rings within its trunk. We experience the pressure from the fabric as gravity. The more massive the object the more pressure exerted upon it EDIT: Space is like a fabric and a fluid but time is the motion of energy that governs the existence and function of space. Space and time are not one and the same but space is governed by time because it is governed by energy. Time is not governed by space nor is it dependent upon space. We could also say that space, that is the universe, was brought into existence through energy or by means of energy. Space is a form of energy, which is in motion, thus it is influenced by time. Time is older that the universe.
LOLz the fabric is just a MODEL it is the simplest possible example of a couple of the properties of space and gravity. Like ALL models, it is limited. You need a THOROUGH explanation of what the model DOES and DOESNT show in order to understand it. The model is not self explanatory, nor is it intuitive and easily understood. Astrophysics is incredibly complex and the math required to understand it is literally rocket science. The model is useful in a limited sense, but it is far from complete or comprehensive. you cant blame a simple model for NOT explaining all of space and time to you you'd need to make it a career
:D it's like imagining telegraph, if use Einstein words, telegraph is like a very long cat, you pull it's tail and the head miaw somehere. radio is like this. the difference is that there is no cat :D . same thing here. if you put a heavy object carefully on a trampoline, the surface will be pushed down by the weight of the object and any other object you put will simply roll towards the object. the same thing with gravity, it bend space towards it (no up and down in 3d space, only towards or outwards) and other obejct will simply flow the path towards it. the difference is there are no trampoline :P
If you have copper that has formed a layer of vedigris (copper oxide) or is greasy the flux needed to help the solder join with the copper will not penetrate to the surface and enable a solid joint to be formed. So the answer is a.
I HATE the rubber sheet analogy. It's the one that leads kids to ask, What would happen if you came at a black hole from the bottom?. You're confused because the rubber sheet analogy is a piece of crap, to say the least. It's an oversimplified way of imagining a very complicated subject. Planets and stars aren't sitting -on- anything. They're -in- space, and yes, they do warp it. This is evidenced by the fact that light will bend around massive objects in space as if the space itself were either bent or made more dense by the presence of mass pushing it out of the way. And this happens in all directions, not just down as in the rubber sheet analogy.grrrr.
