Airplane wing
Another parable that comes to mind is the one of an airplane wing. The wing creates a vacuum above itself because it pushes the air away with its forward speed. The wing and the air above it fall into the vacuum which creates the upward lift on the wing. But I am not a physician, check the Bernoulli Principle.
Is something like this happening with the earth (the wing) and the space time continuum (the air)? What creates the space time density difference (vacuum) around planets?Labels: space time
