In a computer games you usually experience lag on crowded places because, the game can not handle the exponentially growing amount of interactions between all the players on the a area. If you want to get quickly to the other side of such a crowd, the shortest way is not directly through. Does this sound familiar? Is it not how light particle behaves when bending on the gravity? So in a nutshell what do you think: does the gravity happen because the space is kind of lazy and shovels the ‘shut up and calculate’ to a dark hole?
