suppose we could build a large plane out of gauge blocks, say 40000km2 or whatever was needed.
suppose we could have it in space, somewhere in the vicinity of the earths magneti--i mean gravitational pull.
how big would it have to be before spacetime would cause the surface to be curved?
assume we could have spheres place about the surface, would they roll towards the earth?
would the gauge blocks seperate?
