Amazing animation (by @LucasVB) demonstrating how the presence of mass affects spacetime
• The bending of the grid lines illustrates the "warping" of space due to the mass at the center
• The clocks at each vertex show how time appears to pass more slowly closer to masspic.twitter.com/KrpHVC6oLz

Just to be clear, this is mostly me fooling around with my grid distortion code because it looked cool. Was never trying to show anything physical here.

i meant to ask, are the ratios of the ticks on the clocks and the spacetime warping consistent with the EFEs?
