When I have seen depictions of the "Fabric" of space-time it is always shown as a "grid" with objects such as planets, stars, etc showing an indentation on this grid. The size of the indentation is relative to the mass of the object, with a black hole culminating in a huge "gravity well" ending in a "point (like a funnel)", which I assume represents the singularity.<br /><br />My question is as follows: Is this representation accurate? It implies that a black hole has a definite "top" and "bottom". It would seem to me (bear in mind as a lay person) that a black hole would appear to have a gravity well regardless of your orientation to it and the "top" and "bottom" exists in all directions at all times.
