Featuring riveting immersive imagery, this animation from the YouTube channel ScienceClic brings to life the invisible gravitational currents that shape, distort and govern our universe. Visualising the fabric of spacetime as a vast grid governed by abiding principles, the short features examples ranging from the familiar (the swell of ocean tides) to the nearly unfathomable (the meeting of two black holes) to illustrate how gravitational dynamics operate. The piece also draws out the limits of our understanding, and breaks down the fascinating process by which gravitational waves were discovered in 2015, birthing an entirely new branch of astronomy.
