I need help understanding the bending of space time and relativity. How does something like this happen when there are three dimensions in space, how does this bend interact with stuff below or above the object with mass? Are there planes like this going in infinite directions and everywhere?1yr ⋅ KrisbyKream ⋅ r/astrophysics

What would it take to get a star to look like this in real life?
