The fire alarm's going off in my building. How long before firemen get here?
I don't know who told you it needs to breath, if it is dry and you keep it dry by encapsulating it you will be fine. Don't seal in moisture or you will have a problem. but using dryloc is a good way to keep the moisture out and give you a dry basement to work out in. Good luck
The rubber sheet is an analogy that uses gravity to explain gravity. Let's look at it another way: Einstein thought about what gravity was. His thought was if you were in a sealed room with no sound or vibration as clues could you tell if you were sitting motionless on earth or accelerating through space at 9.8 m/s^2. Turns out there is no experiment you can do to figure it out, there is no difference between acceleration and gravity. So, you can treat gravity as an acceleration. He then made a geometric argument. Space-time can be described as a 4D space. That thought came from his earlier Special Relativity. If you graph gravity (acceleration) into that 4d space the acceleration of gravity is the slope of the Gravity Potential Field. And that can be modeled as a rubber sheet
First science corrected the flaws (they usually did not work) it was found that the sharp rods seldom worked therein the new ones are bunt and ugly (but work). God Bless the Southern People.
