Space-Time Curvature Question!
Hi Guys,
A question about the curvture of space-time by mass.
Where is the point of maximum curvature??
Is it at the centre of mass (i.e.. the middle of the body)
The reason I ask, is that when space-time curvature is shown visually it makes out like it is a flat bottomed "dent" in space-time. If this was the case it would mean surely that there is no curvature at the centre of mass.
Where am I going wrong with this thought process.
Thanks
Ginger
