I'm a science-let (but I've seen most of Bill Nye's shows) who just started learning about gravity and Einstein's relativity whatever.
If I understand it all then are these points correct?
1. Something doesn't fall towards earth, earth *bends* itself upwards towards the object. Since light bends with it, it looks like the object is falling instead.
2. Dropping 2 objects on opposite sides of the earth will make it *bend* in both directions
3. Because of 1 & 2, gravity behaves like waves because the earth would be trying to go back to *normal* after bending and this would cause a ripple effect like drop of water in a pond
Now what I want to know is there some special thing that happens gravity wise in stars or do they just behave like super heavy planets?
