Gravitational curvature

[Anonymous No.15327295]

I just realized that every depiction of gravitational curvature I have seen depicts NEGATIVE curvature. What gives?

Take picrel for example. You start with a flat space. Introducing positive curvature at a particular location (green) implies creating a ring of negative curvature (red).

I'm not incorporating time here so maybe that would solve the problem?

Yeah it's supposed to look like picrel because spacetime is affected in three dimensions and not a flat plane. I think the flat plane is just an analogy but it's a misleading visualization

From my meager understanding, even thinking like that seems retarded.
You know full well gravity is AROUND the entire planet. Assuming just that one piece of information, it will tell you that gravity is curving space in a sphere.

Is a better representation, but good luck getting that in your book.

This is literally a question an 8 year old would ask when he first discovers a world map and thinks earth is flat.

They could put it in a book, just use a still image like picrel

I hate these onions pop drawings. Le rubber sheet. Pure garbage, flat 4D spacetime isnt even cartesian
