Gravity Well 3D

General relativity visualized as spacetime curvature. Massive objects warp the fabric of spacetime — shown here as a deformed grid. Add masses by clicking. Drag to rotate.

Grid resolution 24
Well depth 60
Masses 1
Rotate speed 0.5
Einstein field equations: G_μν + Λg_μν = (8πG/c⁴) T_μν
Mass curves spacetime; curved spacetime tells mass how to move
