Not necessarily. How do you know those things in particular will need to be different?
Even if we replace the expression; curvature with stretch, it is off course still an abstract “picture” of space, like it always have been, and always will be.
The prevailing understands of ADG can be compared with a picture of the citizens in USA.
Let say a sect believes that the citizens living by the coast eat solid food, the further away from the coast people only eat soup, and the deeper we get into the country the soup gets thinner and thinner until it is only water. In the central state of USA people live at air, and exactly in Central America people never eat.
Exactly so silly is our understanding of central gravity, included; what mass attraction is, and what causing ADG.
Now replace the lunch in USA with space consuming matter.
In the centre of a mass, - it must be a bigger space- vacuum since that area is encircled by space consuming matter.
Already at this point you “should” be able to smell what “dark matter” really is and the cause of “black holes”.
If still not try to put a hamburger exactly in the centre of 1000 hungry people that not have eaten in 3 days.
What would happen if there was 1 hamburger and 100.000 hungry people ?
This is a picture showing you that central space also is affected. Also central matter demands space doesn’t matter what so ever.
Now place 2 hungry lions between hamburgers.
Is it difficult to figure out what will happen?
This is a “picture” of mass attraction, as well as ADG.
The bigger the Lions are the more the hamburger is affected.
Almost the same what happens to the hamburger happens to space between the Moon and the Earth.
And by the way, if this really is so, can you see the other consequences too?
I mean can you see HOW matter and space is connected?
If not:
Space and matter is almost “woven together”
If you move matter you MUST disturb the whole Universe.
And since matter and space is connected, space must move when matter moves.
And the same thing opposite. When space moves matter woven into that space MUST move as well.
And so it goes like I said; a unstoppable chain reaction.
Just follow this main thread steep by step, let the chain reaction lead you and you will come to the exact same conclusion, like I already have explained several times. – ( The Mercury Anomaly. Resistance against motion, Cosmological redshift. etc etc. etc. etc.)
NOT because I have invented it, but because it is logical consequences that automatically follows like I said; a chain reaction.
You have properly often hear, that according to Einstein gravity is ONLY , the curvature of space. Not even a force.
But what about mass attraction?
Try to explain the cause of it if gravity not should be a force. – IMPOSSIBLE.
Why is space “curving” if gravity not is force? – IMPOSSIBLE.
We can not just drop Newton’s point of view and blindfold us self with the clumsy “curvature of space expression”, there is a lot more to get involved in.
GR is a half wind and a pretext for doing nothing (except higgs-fantasy) .
It is possible to get a MUCH better basic and coherent understanding of the nature of space, gravity, mass attraction, ADG and all what follows when this basics nature of space is better understood.
Sooner or later we must reach a united understanding of both Newtonian gravity and GR.
This is the key to what lays behind both.
