I've always wondered how we came to come up with such an idea. Was he one day sitting around and thinking, then made a random assumption and go "ah hah!". Or did his idea come up through his calculations on the nature of how gravity should cause interaction? Is their a literal fabric of space (of course it's not like the 2d plane mentioned in pop science), or is that just an analogy to help our human minds understand the nature of gravity and time? If that case is true can't I say the same thing for forces such as electromagnetism? That a proton is attracted to an electron because of this quantum fabric that causes like charges to attract. Also was Einstein just happen to be the one to come up with that ambitious idea and it happen to be right?
