I´m already quite familiar with concepts of spacetime curvature and have heard of the metaphor of two men walking north on the Earth appearing to gravitate towards one another as they approach the north pole. My only current issue is that this metaphor is for two moving objects, and yet non moving objects still are affected by gravity. The only other major metaphor is the sheet of fabric metaphor which I personally dislike due to its usage of gravity to explain gravity. My current assumption is that it´s because we´re moving through time even when we aren´t moving through space but this is just an assumption and I´d appreciate a more scientific answer to my question.
