Gravity is said to be the curvature of space and time, but what does such curvature actually look like? In this video we explore the foremost solution to Einstein's equations -- the Schwarzschild solution -- in order to construct a concrete visualization of the spacetime manifold. Will this visualization grant us new insight into our higher-dimensional reality? The secrets of gravity are locked away... in The Geometry of a Black Hole.
