I just had a fascinating idea about gravity.

Think about the spacetime fabric as a ocean. The more mass you have, the deeper you fall into the water, but if your mass/density ratio goes out of balance, you'll either sink below the water and fall to the bottom (black hole), or float at the very top of the water, not being able to attract anything to you (cosmic dust).

The density of your object (water displacement), functionally maps onto the event horizon really well. Gravity even has waves. There is also a point were your depth in the water doesnt allow light to reach you.

Makes me wonder how far these parallels go…
