(October 12, 2016 at 5:50 pm)Alex K Wrote: Einstein's field equations basically describe how curvature gets communicated between neighboring points in spacetime. In a sense, and speaking very simplistically, the curvature gets communicated by one piece of spacetime getting bent by the next neighboring one, and so on...

So would a field at the lowest end of scale act as such a "stretchy fabric"? Would not the Higgs field having specifically to do with mass conference, having been formed right after the inflation of space-time, be intrinsically linked to "gravity" conferred through space?

Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,
I knew the rules but the rules did not know me, guaranteed." - Eddie Vedder
