4.1 The External Geometry Shift (EGS)

4.1.2 Visualizing the EGS

Using the EGS, we can ray trace the geometry near an extremely massive object, a black hole.

The spatial distribution of momenta (energy) defines the curvature of space on all levels. Gravitational systems will be referred to as spatial cavities. Each cavity resides in a larger cavity, and all together they form the spatial landscape of the universe.

The blue circle in the ray-traced image represents the cavity edge. At this altitude, free momenta moving perpendicularly to the cavity will be bent in a perfect circle around the system.

Earth's gravitational system is far too shallow to possess a cavity edge, although such shallow gravitational systems will also be referred to as spatial cavities.

An object being stationary at the marked position in the first illustration will of course see its surrounding curvature as straight, as shown in the second illustration.
