What makes you think the center of mass is not the center of distortion ?
Didn't think of it that way... good point!
Are you maybe confused by the pop-sci analog of the 'bowling ball on a rubber sheet' ?
Indeed i am!!
Forgive my ,what are sure to be, many questions. Kinda trying to teach myself this stuff 🤯🤯

If gravity is a distortion in space time, why are we drawn to the planets interior instead of the direction of the distortion? I think understand the concept of the conical distortion pictures, but im still having trouble understanding why. Does the rotational speed of the celestial body causing the distortion play a part? This may have been touched on before so if you could direct me there that would be awesome.
