Gravity Visualization
It would be interesting if we could see a grid that displays gravity wells. We could choose what acis or dimensions we'd want it on and could see the "drag" of the wells and how they interact with each other. One problem with this would be objects on different levels of a vertical axis and how to represent them on a 2 dimensional grid. Stil, I think it'd be cool and would like to know your thoughts on this. Keep in mind im thinking of something like this:

This video also greatly demonstrates what i'm talking about when I say "dragging" of the wells.

This looks like its a demonstration of Einstein's theories about space-time so I'm not sure how that would work in a Newtonian simulation

you could simplify the same type of visualization as in indicator for the strenth of gravity for a given object.
