Hi Adie123,
That is some good work there in 3D Studio Max.
I've seen many illustrations of curved space that use the surface analogy and it works to give an approximation but is not really the way Einstein envisaged things. First of all, the model demonstrated requires gravity to work. So we are using gravity to explain gravity Second of all, Einstein knew that spatial curvature happens spatially, not just on a surface, even a 4D or higher dimensional surface. Instead the curvature is a spherical compression of space-time around any given mass and gravity is the interaction of these compressions trying to equalize.
I like the centrifugal model but I think you will find that along the rotational axis it will be zero so the spikes are probably not correct in that respect.
Good work though!
