Spacetime
1. The combination of space and time into a single interwoven continuum.
Gravity is spacetime warped by mass.
All masses (objects) have a gravitational pull.
As the earth pulls our bodies towards it, so too do we pull the earth towards us.
Our gravitational pull, so weak it is unnoticeable, exerts itself over everything we encounter. A minimal, insignificant force quietly attempting to draw external objects inwards.
Does perception of one's gravitational pull alter the way in which we navigate the space? Is there a perceived magnetism between object and body as both exert gravitational force over one another?
A self conscious body in a space moves with an anxious care.
Potential for disruption is apparent; self consciousness changes the way in which we move in spacetime.
Even if a disruption is made; an object knocked over, ash dislodged and falling, a new equilibrium is met. There is a change to the space, and it becomes still once more upon the exiting of bodies.
Space for future disruptions is made.
