Watch. Lay a ruler across the width of a black hole, thru the middle. How

That's what warped spacetime *is* - when euclidean measurements don't work.
When the angles of a triangle add up to more than 180 degrees, you have a
mass inside the triangle.

I think you're confusing circumference and radius and diameter.

Is that Achillese tortoise or A-Tuin tortoise? :-)
