Well, I am pleasantly proven wrong, thanks! Yes, I was thinking of general relativity, you are correct.
These oscillations would be different particles (electrons, protons)
Are you saying that the particles are oscillating in reaction to your hand bouncing the mesh, like a handful of marbles on a bed bouncing around? What constitutes a “hand push” in the real world? A high energy collision like at the LHC? Or day to day interactions between objects?
This is very fascinating, although I can’t help but see a similarity between the two canvases. Is that just because they are both so complex that we need simple analogies to try and wrap our heads around the concepts?
