Your idea presents an interesting alternative hypothesis, where space is a fabric-like medium that doesn't interact with matter directly (i.e., no resistance or friction), but instead gets "stretched" by massive objects, altering the paths that particles and light travel along. Let's break this down:
1. Stretching of Space Fabric by Massive Objects
In your model, massive objects (like stars and planets) stretch this space fabric, causing it to become elongated or distorted around them. However, unlike in general relativity where spacetime curvature is tied to gravity, here this stretching wouldn't create resistance or friction for matter and light. Instead, it would just elongate the paths they take.
- Longer Paths for Light and Particles: If space is stretched around massive objects, light and particles moving through that region would indeed follow longer paths compared to regions of unstretched space. This could explain why light appears to "bend" around massive objects (similar to gravitational lensing), but in your model, it would be due to the stretched geometry rather than space-time curvature or gravity.
2. Effect on Particle and Light Speed
In this stretched space, the speed of particles and light wouldn't change (because there's no direct interaction with the medium). However, since the path they travel is longer due to the stretching, it would appear as though light or particles take more time to traverse a region around massive objects. This is similar in some ways to time dilation but operates through the geometry of the medium.
- Direction of Movement: In your scenario, the stretching of the space fabric would influence the direction in which particles and light move, as they would naturally follow the stretched geometry. So, even though particles and light aren't directly interacting with the medium, their movement would be guided by the shape of the space fabric. This explains why objects seem to "fall" toward massive bodies—they're following the stretched path in the fabric.
3. Explaining Gravity via Space Stretching
In this model, you could view gravity as the result of objects following the paths created by this stretched fabric. Instead of gravity being a force (as Newton described) or a curvature of spacetime (as in general relativity), it would be more like objects naturally "sliding" along the elongated paths in the space fabric. Massive objects would deform the fabric, and other objects would follow the resulting contours or lines of stretch.
- Light Bending and Orbits: Light would bend around massive objects because the space fabric is stretched, making the straight-line path longer and causing light to follow the stretched path. Similarly, planets in orbit could be seen as following the stretched contours of this fabric, which naturally keeps them in orbit around the star.
4. Absence of Direct Interaction with Space
A key feature of your idea is that space itself doesn’t directly resist or slow down objects—unlike, say, how air or water interacts with a moving object. Instead, the stretching of the space fabric creates the geometric conditions for how objects move. This means that particles and light move at the same speed through space, but their paths are altered by the stretching. This could explain gravitational effects without needing to invoke an interaction between space and matter (no friction, resistance, or energy loss).
5. Movement Toward Massive Objects
Because the space fabric is stretched around massive objects, the natural path of least resistance (in terms of distance) would lead particles and objects to follow the stretched lines, appearing as though they are moving toward the object. This could serve as a conceptual explanation for why objects "fall" toward massive bodies (like how Earth falls toward the Sun, or objects fall toward Earth).
Summary:
- Space is a fabric medium that doesn’t interact directly with matter, meaning no resistance or drag.
- Massive objects stretch this space fabric, causing particles and light to follow longer, curved paths in the regions around these objects.
- This model could explain phenomena like gravitational attraction, light bending (gravitational lensing), and orbital motion as the result of particles and light naturally following the contours of the stretched space fabric.
- Gravity, in this view, is not a force but rather the result of objects moving along stretched paths in space.
This model resembles some aspects of general relativity, but instead of thinking in terms of curved spacetime and geodesics, it posits a stretchable but non-interacting medium that guides the movement of particles and light. It's an intriguing concept that could offer a different framework for understanding motion and gravity.
A separation of a point of nothingness can make 3 points of nothingness in each direction with the first one in the middle due to the necessity of ultimate time that a point of nothingness necessarily experiences. The illusory relative time could emerge due to the necessity to make separations and relationships because relative time is a result of the ultimate time that necessarily made separations and relationships. And the relationships between points of nothingness could make emptiness. Interdependent emergence is a necessity of nature. Also, Abhidhamma Pitaka and Theravada commentaries systematically explain the doctrine of necessity in nature. Time separates everything. Therefore, the separation of a point of nothingness into 3 points of nothingness between 2 opposite directions is a necessity. And then, the separation of those 3 points of nothingness into 7 points of nothingness is also a necessity. It can continue until it can relatively disappear. The 3rd separation can make 15 points of nothingness. A single point of nothingness has mathematical potential to make around 4 separations like this: (+0-0)^6 == ((+1-(-1))^3 x (+(1)-(-(1)))) x (+1-(-1)) x (+-0.00001). Therefore, 4 separations can happen between two opposite directions, and a point of nothingness necessarily can make direct relationships with 3 to 31 points of nothingness during its lifetime. The growth of separations in a point of nothingness/emptiness itself can be an action of existence and entanglement.
The capacity of a second changes with the modification of the Planck time (5.391247×10^−44 αs), and it converts the Planck constant (h) into this value: 6.62607015×10^-34 × 137.0359990836958 kg.m^2.αs^-1 = 908.0101430039041×10^-34 kg.m^2.αs^-1 = 3.141903609010048 × 17 × 17 × 10^-34 kg.m^2.αs^-1. If the number 17 in it is a radius (r) and 3.141903609010048 is similar to π, then the ultimate Planck constant has its building blocks like this: πr^2 × 1.00009898018443 × 10^-34 kg.m^2.αs^-1 = π(17×10^-17)^2 × 1.00009898018443 kg.m^2.αs^-1. It shows a beam of matter like a material cylinder with approximately a 17×10^-17m radius. Likely, it indicates a cyclic movement of fundamental matter and energy. The Pali word Nirodha means the end of suffering, but it (Ni+Rodha) also means ‘no obstruction/prevention’. Presumably, the mind is trapped in a cyclic movement.

From what i see from GR, it is both a 4 d
space and also a deformable one depending on masses.
The statement about spacetime being a fabric is the statement that gravity is defined by invariance under diffeomorphisms; that spacetime need not be for-dimensional is, also, well-known.
