I agree.
And a part of me wonders: If we understand gravity with the idea that a mass creates a “depression” in space-time (as Carl Sagan explained it in Cosmos by rolling a ball on a flexible surface), the idea occurs to me that if the Universe is not a hypersphere but–rather–saddle-shaped, then a mass would make a differently shaped depression if it was located near one “edge” of the saddle vs. if it was closer to the center.
So, this suggests that the same mass in one part of the Universe may create a different gravitational pull vs. this mass in another part of the Universe.
So, the gravitational constant may not be as costant as we think it is, and I wonder if an asymmetry in the shape of the Universe may cause the contradictions, confusion, and conflicting ideas when we try to ponder gravity on a cosmic scale, and why the James Webb telescope has given data that contradicts our models.
