The following diagram shows two geometries. On the right is a schematic drawing of the spacetime around the sun. Notice that the sun’s gravity alters space somewhat. On the left is a schematic drawing of the spacetime around a black hole having mass of 2 billion times that of the sun (a Schwarzchild geometry). The [...]
