| Mostly it's the idea that space itself is a medium.
When that medium compresses to a certain density, it becomes matter.
It's based on the idea that the reason matter bends space is because it is space. Space, of course, being some other kind of material... call it "null matter" for now.
Think of the null matter being the beads in the grid.
When they are close enough together, it stretches the "fabric" of the grid. |
